The image of Mahāvairocana is typically depicted as a seated figure resembling a bodhisattva, adorned with luxurious ornaments such as a treasure crown and jewels. This image is modeled after the ancient Indian royal family. Generally, buddhas are portrayed in a simple robe without any adornments, but Mahāvairocana is depicted as one who embodies the entire universe as if it were a piece of jewelry, especially in the form of a king.
