Vajradhara is revered in Vajrayana Buddhism as the primordial Buddha, the Dharmakaya embodiment of ultimate reality. He is considered the supreme source of all tantric lineages and teachings, from whom all other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas emanate. Iconographically, he is typically depicted seated, holding a vajra (thunderbolt) in his right hand and a bell (ghanta) in his left, symbolizing the inseparable union of wisdom and skillful means that characterize Buddhahood.
