His left hand holds a skull cup, representing everyday experiences' transformation into profound wisdom. Beside him, a three-pronged staff known as the katvanga represents his mastery over the three realms of existence. He wears a lotus hat adorned with a vulture's feather, which represents spiritual ascent and connection to enlightened beings.
