In traditional iconography, he is shown seated in a relaxed royal posture (often on a lotus or moon disc), symbolizing mastery over both worldly and spiritual realms. His right hand typically holds a vajra, representing indestructible wisdom and enlightened power, while his left hand holds a skull cup (kapala) filled with nectar, symbolizing the transformation of negative emotions into wisdom. Resting against his shoulder is the khatvanga trident staff, adorned with symbolic elements representing the union of wisdom and compassion as well as his tantric consort practice.
