Dandapani is depicted in a fierce dancing posture, symbolizing dynamic activity and the subjugation of opposing forces. In his right hand, he holds a staff, while his left hand grasps a lasso—both signifying control and the binding of harmful influences. He tramples two subdued beings beneath his feet, representing the defeat of ignorance and ego. A garland of skulls encircles his body, and he wears a five-skull crown, symbolizing the transformation of the five poisons into wisdom. A third eye is present on his forehead, representing higher perception and spiritual insight. Behind his head, a radiant halo emphasizes his divine, wrathful energy.

Danda Pani is a wrathful manifestation of protection and order, often depicted holding a danda (club) as a symbol of discipline, authority, and the destruction of ignorance. He is invoked to guard the Dharma, protect spiritual practitioners, and clear negative energies that hinder progress on the path to enlightenment. His fierce form reminds us of the power of righteous resolve and sacred responsibility.
