In the practice of the Guhyasam?ja Tantra, the central deity of the Guhyasam?ja is blue-black Akshobhyavajra, a form of Akshobhya, one of the five transcendent lords (pa簽catath?gata).

Akshobhyavajra holds a vajra and bell (ghanta) in his first two hands, and other hands hold the symbols of the four other transcendent lords: wheel of Vairocana and lotus of Amitabha in his right hands, and gem of Ratnasambhava and sword of Amoghasiddhi in his left hands.

The ma廜???ala consists of thirty-two deities in all.
