Vajradhara is portrayed seated in padmasana (full lotus posture) atop a detailed lotus base, signifying purity and spiritual elevation. He is shown in the embracing mudra, a symbolic union with his consort that represents the inseparability of wisdom (prajñā) and compassion (karuṇā) or skillful means. In his right hand, he holds a vajra, the symbol of the indestructible method, and in his left hand, he has a ghanta (bell), representing wisdom. Together, these sacred implements illustrate the non-dual nature of enlightenment. Vajradhara’s serene expression and posture embody the ultimate state of Buddhahood as the primordial Buddha of the Vajrayana tradition.

Vajradhara is regarded as the primordial Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism, embodying the absolute essence of enlightenment. He represents the source of all tantric teachings, from whom the entire Vajrayana lineage flows. Vajradhara is not just a historical or mythic figure, but the embodiment of the ultimate, unchanging truth beyond duality—where wisdom and compassion are perfectly united. Revered as the highest manifestation of Buddhahood, Vajradhara is often visualized by advanced practitioners to deepen their realization of the nature of mind and the path to awakening.
