Karma is depicted seated in padmasana (cross-legged meditative posture) upon a lotus base, symbolizing purity and spiritual elevation. He wears the distinctive Kagyu hat, representing his lineage and status as a revered master within the Kagyu tradition.
In his right hand, he holds a vajra, symbolizing indestructible insight and the unshakable nature of enlightened mind.
