Vajrasattva is typically depicted in a peaceful, white color, signifying his immaculate purity.

He often holds a vajra in his right hand (symbolizing method) and a bell in his left hand (symbolizing wisdom).

He is sometimes shown in the full vajra posture, with his legs crossed in a meditative stance, or in the bodhicattva posture with his legs relaxed.
