Vajrakilaya (dark Blue purple) with consort Diptachakra (light Blue purple). Two demons lie crushed under his feet.  Vajrakilaya is a wrathful form of the Buddha Vajrasattva. His distinctive iconographic trait is that he holds the dagger called phurba (see ). Indeed, the word “Vajrakilaya” designated both the kīla, and its ritual use, and the deity. Vajrakilaya is commonly represented with three faces of different colors in a crown of skulls. The central face is blue, the left is red and the right is white. He also has six arms: two holds the kīla, two hold one  each, one holds a flaming snare, and one a trident. He crushes under his feet demons representing the obstacles to spiritual realization.
