Vajradhara is the Primordial
Buddha of Tantric Buddhism. His tranquil expression and seated
posture are typical of peaceful depictions in Buddhist imagery,
although his lavish adornments clearly identify him as a symbolic
Buddha in a bodhisattva appearance. With his upward-gazing eyes,
sharp nose, and gentle smile, Vajradhara has a playful and serene
presence. On his head is an ornate vajra crown inlaid
with precious stones and jewels. The flowing scarves and sway
of the hips create a sense of movement and dance. The surface
of his elegantly modeled body is richly adorned with armbands,
necklaces, and belts, all inlaid with jewels.
