Vajradhara, the primordial Buddha and the dharmakaya Buddha is often portrayed in a deep blue color, symbolizing the embodiment of Buddhahood itself. Vajradhara represents the core essence of the historical Buddha's realization of enlightenment.
It is believed that Shakyamuni Buddha himself manifested in the form of Vajradhara when teaching the tantric path to his most gifted disciples. In artistic depictions, Vajradhara typically holds a Vajra (thunderbolt) and a bell in his left hand, while his arms are crossed in front of him, signifying the perfect integration of wisdom (Prajna) and skilful means (upaya). He usually appears in a seated posture, known as the vajraparyanka, and is adorned with a crown, and an Urna (the auspicious curl of hair between the eyebrows).
