Introduction To The Khatvanga :

Khatvanga is a stick with a skull on top that is commonly used in Tantric rituals. It is also depicted in the hands of the oldest known Tantric pictures in the Indic world. It comprises of a short stick topped by a single skull from which a vajra emerges.

In the Tantric Buddhist environment, the khatvanga had a very profound meaning. At its most basic level, it represents the opposite gender counterpart of the equal or close deity who carries it.

Both Tsang Nyon Heruka and Padmasambhava are renowned for holding a khatvanga staff on their left shoulder.
