The six-armed, white coloured Buddhist deity is seated in padmasana. His principal hands are placed against the chest in vajrahumkara mudra while the other right hands display achakra and a red lotus and the left hands show a sword and a red lotus. The hair is arranged in upward style tied with a hair band on the head. He is bedecked with five pointed crown. The background colour adds an unusual appeal to the illustration brining the deity into distinction.
