He has a third eye of wisdom in the center of his forehead and wears a crown of five skulls symbolizing his mastery of the five wisdom of Buddhas and a vajra is embedded on its topknot symbolizing his affiliation with the Vajrayana lineage.

Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item.
