Dorje Phagmo is often depicted as a fierce, dynamic goddess, typically red in color, symbolizing her passionate, transformative energy. She stands in a dancing or stamping posture (pratyalidha), reflecting her active, wrathful energy used to subdue obstacles and opposing forces. Her expression is wrathful, often with bared fangs, signifying her determination to overcome ignorance and delusion. She is usually depicted naked except for bone ornaments, symbolizing her transcendence of worldly attachments, and adorned with a crown of skulls, representing victory over ego and impermanence. She holds a kartika, a crescent-shaped ritual chopper, in her right hand. This symbolizes her power to cut through ignorance, ego, and obstacles on the path to enlightenment. In her left hand, she holds a kapala, or skull cup, which is often filled with symbolic nectar or blood. This represents the transformation of opposing forces and the purification of obstacles. Resting on or held by her left shoulder, she carries a khatvanga, a staff adorned with symbolic elements. This represents her spiritual power, tantric attainments, and the inseparable union of wisdom and method.
