The „complete being“ Sherab Mawe Senge is depicted with orange skin, and in his hands he holds the sword and the lotus flower attributes. He is seated on a dragon throne, which is intended to symbolize the sublimity of his speech. Sherab Mawe Senge is associated with wisdom and is called upon by believers during the doctrinal debates.
