Iconography of Acala: Unshakeable Will
Acala sits in the Full-lotus posture. His deep blue body rests on a multi-colored lotus throne. As seen in the thangka, his face shows a squinting left eye and bared fangs.
The Right Hand: He holds a vertical sword wrapped by a green snake.
The Left Hand: He grips a binding rope with golden metal weights.
Scriptures state the green snake is the dragon king Kurikara transforming himself. The serpent wraps the sword to swallow all dualistic thoughts and poisons.
This posture shows Acala as a servant vow-bound to rescue stubborn souls.
