Vajradhara, Buddha (Tibetan: dor je chang, sang gye. English: the Vajra Holder, Enlightened One). The primordial buddha, personification of the dharmakaya - truth body of enlightenment and progenitor of the Vajrayana system of buddhism accompanied by 45 of the famous Eighty-four Mahasiddhas according to the Vajrasana System.In a peaceful appearance, dark blue in colour, with a smiling face, he holds the two hands folded across the heart in the mudra of non-duality. The right hand holds a vajra sceptre and the left a vajra-handled bell. Beautifully adorned with a crown of gold and jewels, red hair ribbons, earrings, necklaces and bracelets he wears an upper garment of green brocade silk and a lower garment of various colours. Seated in vajra posture with the legs interlocked atop a moon disc and multi-coloured lotus and lion supported throne he is surrounded by a yellow and blue nimbus and blue areola of ornate design - completely surrounded by red flower blossoms and green leaves.Encircling Vajradhara are 45 of the famous mahasiddhas of India each portrayed in a standard iconographic form. At the top left is Arya Nagarjuna. Fourth from the left is Virupa with the right hand raised up to the sun and the left holding a skullcup. At the far right Dombhi Heruka rides a tiger and in the corner Ghantapa flies in the air with his mystic consort. Along the bottom red margin runs an inscription in fine gold lettering.Jeff Watt 2-99
