The Ajna chakra is described as a transparent [[padma (attribute)|lotus flower]] with two white petals, said to represent the [[Nadi (yoga)|nadis]] (psychic channels) Ida and Pingala, which meet the central Sushumna nadi before rising to the crown chakra, [[Sahasrara]]. The letter "ham" (हं) is written in white on the left petal and represents [[Shiva]], while the letter "ksham" (क्षं) is written in white on the right petal and represents [[Shakti]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mychakras.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/sixth-chakra-third-eye-chakra-ajna-chakra/|title=Sixth Chakra Third Eye Chakra Ajna Chakra|date=2008-05-27|website=My Chakras|access-date=2016-05-04}}</ref>{{better source|date=July 2020}}
Inside the [[pericarp]] of the flower is the Hakini shakti. It is depicted with a white moon, six faces, and six arms holding a book, a skull, a drum, and a [[rosary]], while making the gestures associated with granting boons and dispelling fears. The downward-pointing triangle above her contains a white [[lingam]]. This triangle, along with the lotus flower, can represent wisdom.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.chakras.info/third-eye-chakra/|title=The Third Eye Chakra|website=www.chakras.info|access-date=2016-04-29}}</ref> In some systems the deity [[Ardhanarishvara]], a [[hermaphrodite]] form of[[Shiva]]-Shakti, resides within the lingam and symbolizes the duality of subject and object. This sixth chakra of our energy body is also connected with the sixth layer of our aura, known as the celestial layer in aura science.{{cn|date=July 2020}}
