Her right hand is elevated, holding a double-sided drum (damaru), while her left hand has a bell turned upward.

Machig Labdron was not a lama's consort, unlike other Tibetan female Dakini. She was a spiritual mother who nurtured the spiritual life of her children. Her Chod technique was named one of the Eight Great Chariots of the practicing lineages. Machig's student and tantric consort were Padampa Sangye, a great Indian saint. He is also credited with founding the Chod system in its entirety.
