Vidyadhari, also known as Akash Yogini, is symbolically weightless, embodying immense wisdom and spiritual transcendence. The artist intentionally composes the paubha with a top-heavy arrangement to emphasize this sense of ethereal lightness and elevation.

The artist’s original interpretation of a three-dimensional mandala serves as a dynamic platform from which the deity appears to leap, situating the yogini within an elevated, almost celestial space. This vertical emphasis is carefully balanced by the grounded presence of Manjusri depicted under a dense tree in the lower right corner. Opposing the visual density of the fiery motifs and surrounding figures—Arya/Green Tara, Akṣobhya Buddha, and Vajra-Devi—that envelop the ascending yogini, the composition achieves a harmonious equilibrium between weight and weightlessness.
