It's their family culture to carve statues and sculptures, so they are the best at it. The consort is shown sitting on Guru Rinpoche's lap with her back to us, while Guru Rinpoche is firmly seated on a lotus seat. Guru Rinpoche has a skullcap in his left hand and a vajra in his right. He is being held by his consort, sitting on his lap and clutching a skullcup and a flaying knife (Kartika) in her left and right hands, respectively.

Guru Rinpoche was an instrumental figure in Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava's teachings are said to have an oral lineage (kama) as well as a lineage of the hidden treasure texts (termas). He is said to appear in visionary encounters with tertöns, and his form is visualized during guru yoga practice, particularly in the Nyingma school. He is revered by Buddhists in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India's Himalayan states, and other countries around the world.
