Resting against her left shoulder is a ritual staff (khatvanga) adorned with three skulls, symbolizing mastery over the three times and the inseparability of body, speech, and mind.

A flaming halo surrounds her, embodying her blazing wisdom energy. She is shown stepping on two figures, signifying the subjugation of ego and dualistic thought, and she stands on a sun disc atop a lotus base, symbolizing the union of emptiness (śūnyatā) and blissful awareness.

Vajrayogini is a principal tantric Buddhist deity and dakini, revered especially in Vajrayana (Tantric) Buddhism as a fully enlightened female Buddha and embodiment of supreme wisdom and compassion. Her name means "diamond" or "thunderbolt" yogini, symbolizing indestructible wisdom and spiritual power. She is often depicted as a fierce, red-skinned goddess holding ritual implements like a skull cup and curved knife, surrounded by cremation grounds, symbolizing the destruction of ego and illusion. Vajrayogini represents the path to female Buddhahood and is considered the queen of all dakinis. Her practice is central to many Vajrayana lineages and is believed to provide a swift path to enlightenment by transforming desire and ordinary experiences into spiritual realization. She is honored above male Buddhas and embodies the union of great passion, free from selfishness, working to liberate all beings.
