In his left hand, he holds a kapala containing the vase of immortality, symbolizing boundless spiritual wealth and transcendence over death. His right hand holds a vajra, representing unshakable wisdom and clarity. Resting against his shoulder is the khatvanga trident, a tantric symbol of his consort and mastery over the three realms. It also represents the Three Kayas: Dharmakaya (the truth body—absolute reality), Sambhogakaya (the enjoyment body—blissful form perceived by advanced practitioners), and Nirmanakaya (the emanation body—manifested in the world to guide beings). Adorned with a lotus and feather crown, representing the supreme form of wisdom and enlightenment, he sits in a regal posture, radiating enlightened activity as he blends deep stillness with powerful compassion.
