His face displays a fierce expression with three open eyes, raised eyebrows, and exposed fangs.

Vajrapani, whose name means "Vajra-in-Hand," is one of the earliest-appearing Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism. He represents the power aspect of the Buddha's wisdom and compassion, often depicted as a wrathful deity to symbolize the forceful destruction of inner obstacles like ignorance, craving, and hatred. He is also considered a protector of the Buddha and a guardian of the Dharma.
