When represented on the Stūpa, he always faces the West and the Nepalese Buddhists regard him as the fourth Dhyāni Buddha. His two hands with palm open lie on his lap, one upon the other forming the Dhyāna or the meditative mudrā. His colour is red and his Vāhana is a pair of peacocks. His recognition symbol is the Lotus.
