Dorje Drolo embodies the paradox of enlightenment—fiercely decorative yet expressive of profound compassion and transcendent wisdom beyond conventional logic. He is portrayed with one head, two arms, and three eyes, symbolizing his awareness of the past, present, and future. He dances atop a pregnant tigress, a symbol of mastery over wild forces and protection from negative energies. In his right hand, he holds a vajra, representing indestructible spiritual power, while his left hand grasps a phurba (ritual dagger), used to subdue obstacles and opposing forces. A flaming halo blazes behind him, signifying his dynamic, wrathful wisdom. Wearing a skirt-like garment and in a lotus base, symbolizing enlightened awareness and fearlessness.
