Ucchuṣma Jambhala is rarely represented and his images are not known except the one at Sarnath already described under the emanations of Akṣobhya. This unique image shows all the characteristic features of the god as obtained from the Sādhanas. The figure shows his consort Vasudhārā in the left, but the effigy of neither Akṣobhya nor Ratnasambhava can be seen on his head. It is Amitābha who is there. Nevertheless, this is the only figure known to students of iconography, as representing Ucchuṣma Jambhala.
