Vairochana is regarded as the first Dhyani Buddha by the Nepalese Buddhists. His place is in the sanctum of the stupa where he is the master of whole temple and its contents. Therefore he can’t be represented outside the stupa, but exception to this rule is frequently met within the important stupa’s of Nepal where he is assigned a place between Akshobhya in east and Ratna Sambhav in the south.
Vairochana represents the cosmic element of Rupa or the visible form. When represented as Rupa, he is white in colour, and his two hands are held against the chest with the tips of the thumbs and forefingers of each hand united. His female is Vajradhatviswari. He is in preaching attitude. See Buddha Vairochana.
