Amoghshiddhi, also known as Maitree buddha, is the fifth Dhyani Buddha in order representing cosmic element of samskar (conformation). Green in color, he exhibits the abhaya mudra (fearlessness) with his right hand and his left hand lies open on the lap. Sometimes a serpent with seven heads forms the background as an umbrella. In front of his shrines, therefore, is found a small square pit which is meant for the snake. His recognition symbol is the rainy season and his vehicle is garuda (mythical bird similar to vulture).
