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.
