Our antiquated Chakrasamvara statue depicts one of the most venerable tantric deities with his consort Vajravarahi. Together they are joined in a sensual embrace representing the eternal union of bliss and emptiness. Additionally, his 12 arms portray his liberation from the 12 links to samsara. The two main hands of Chakrasamvara are wrapped around his consort holding the vajra and ghanta bell. As a result, he is seen holding the symbol for wisdom (ghanta) and compassion (vajra).
However, these powerful deities transcend existence and also non-existence. Beneath his left foot he steps on the breast of the goddess Kalarati who represents non-existence. Additionally, with his right foot he steps on the back of Bhairawa the worldly god who represents existence.
