The wrathful, meditational deity is shown striding in alidhasana on animals and prostrate figures on a lotus base. In his primary hands he holds a curved knife and skull cup and in the multitude of other outstretched hands he holds various implements. The central face is in the form of a ferocious buffalo, with bulging eyes and flaming brows, and is flanked and surmounted by additional human faces. His consort, Vetali, stands before him with her left leg wrapped around his waist, holding a skull cup and curved knife.
