-This is wrathful depiction of Bhutadamara Vajrapani and he is standing in a warrior pose. He helps people to get rid of obstacles on the way to enlightenment.

-He is standing on top of a deity which is an emanation of himself.

-In his right hand he holds a vajra chopper and a drum and in his left hand he holds a skull bowl and trident. In another left hand, he holds a lasso. This lasso is used to bind demons.
