Vajrapani's fierce expression and yaksha-like appearance serve to instill a sense of awe and fear, aiming to break through rigid dogmatism. In his right hand, he wields a vajra, symbolizing analytical knowledge (jñanavajra) that dismantles the attachments of consciousness. This vajra has evolved to represent the clarity of pure thought leading to enlightenment.
He stands in a dynamic posture, brandishing the vajra in his raised hand, while the other hand rests on a dwarf attendant holding a club-ax, mirroring his gestures. His long, disheveled dreadlocks hint at esoteric aspects, reminiscent of Shiva, and his distinctive ear ornaments further strengthen this association, along with the presence of a gana-type dwarf guardian.
