She is portrayed with serene elegance, holding a parasol in her right hand—a symbol of protection and spiritual sovereignty—while her left hand gracefully carries a mirror-like ritual implement, reflecting clarity and introspection. Seated firmly in the vajrāsana posture upon a moon disc resting on a blooming lotus base, she embodies a sense of stability and purity. Her head is adorned with a five-pointed crown, symbolizing the embodiment of the Five Dhyani Buddhas and the transcendence of the five aggregates. Her body is lavishly ornamented with intricate jewelry and flowing garments, reflecting her exalted bodhisattva status. A third eye is delicately placed on her forehead, representing her omniscient insight and the awakened awareness that perceives all realms of existence.
