In his upper right hand, he holds a pasha (noose), symbolizing his control over the cosmic forces. In his upper left hand, he holds a pushpa (flower), representing his connection to the natural world. His lower left-hand holds a kamandalu (water pot), signifying purity and sustenance, while his lower right hand extends in varada hasta (boon-giving gesture).
