The Adi Buddha Vajradhara is the Buddha without beginning and end. He embodies infinity and is considered the expression of Buddhahood itself. Vajradhara is considered the highest essence of all (male) Buddhas and is the tantric form of Shakyamuni. He is worshipped as the main Buddha of the father tantras such as Guhyasamaja, Yamantaka and others.
Vajradhara sits in the meditation posture (Dhyana Asana) on a lotus base, accompanied by his consort. Together they demonstrate the experience of universal unity in the Yab-Yum. Vajradhara holds his hands crossed behind his back in Vajrahunkara Mudra: in his left hand a bell (Ghanta) and in his right a Vajra (thunderbolt). His consort carries a Kapala (skull bowl) in her left hand and a Kartika knife in her right. Both are adorned with crowns and magnificent jewelry. His robe and the lotus base are decorated with filigree ornaments and set with colored stones.
