Vajrakilaya is depicted in a fierce, wrathful form, embodying the power to destroy ignorance and opposing forces. He holds his signature phurba (ritual dagger), a powerful symbol of cutting through delusion and obstacles on the path to enlightenment. In addition to the phurba, Vajrakilaya wields a vajra, symbolizing indestructible spiritual power; a ritual staff (khatvanga), representing mastery over body, speech, and mind; and a blazing trident, embodying fiery wisdom that eradicates negativity. His intense expression reflects the fierce protection he offers practitioners. Often depicted in union (yab-yum) with his consort, this union symbolizes the inseparable balance of wisdom (female) and compassion (male), which transforms negative energies into positive forces. Vajrakilaya is frequently shown with outstretched wings, signifying swift, decisive action and the ability to overcome obstacles. Surrounded by blazing flames, which represent the fire of wisdom consuming ignorance, he stands or dances atop human figures, asserting his dominion over both inner and outer hindrances.
