Summary

Description
English: Statue of Samvara, New Prayer Hall, Stakrimo Gompa, Zanskar, Ladakh, India. Samvara is the central deity of the Cakrasamvara Tantra (འཁོར་ལོ་བདེ་མཆོག་གི་སྐུ་པར་ཡིན་པ་འདྲ་) tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He is embracing his consort Vajravārāhī in Yab-Yum pose. The blue figure of Chakrasamvara has additional heads in orange and green. With his principal hands he grasps Vajravarahi and holds a bell and a thunder bolt. The iconography of Chakrasamvara closely resembles that of Shiva (both have three eyes and hold a skull cup, trident, and elephant skin). Such concordance of Buddhist and Hindu iconography has its origins in tantrism of medieval eastern India. Here Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi trample a blue Bhairava and a red Kalartri, showing their dominance over these Hindu gods. At the bottom are currency notes offered by devotees.
