In this depiction, Vajradhara is shown holding a vajra in his right hand and a bell in his left, crossed at the heart in a gesture that symbolizes the union of method (upāya) and wisdom (prajñā)—a foundational principle in Vajrayana Buddhism. His red consort, Bhagavani, embraces him in a symbolic union and holds a curved knife and a skull cup (kapala), representing the fierce compassion that severs ignorance and transforms obstacles into wisdom. Together, their iconography expresses the realization of the ultimate truth through non-duality, embodying the profound essence of tantric practice.
