His luxuriant hair of matted locks (Jatabhara, Jatabhandha, Jatamandala or Jatamakuta) , said to represent his Sthithi (preservation) aspect, is adorned and enriched with jewellery, the crescent moon, a snake and bunches of wild flowers such as Durdhura (dhatura).

The mass of the jatas is arranged in conical shapes to resemble a bright crown (Kiritojjvalam).

The Shilpa text Shilpa-ratna suggests that the Veenadhara Dakshinamurthy bronze statue be adorned with five emblems ( pancha mudra) : the gem on the forehead (Mani) ; the ear rings (Kundala); the necklaces (Kanthika) ; the bracelets on arms and legs (Ruchaka) ; and, the girdle (Mekhala) .

These ornaments are said to symbolize: spiritual power (Virya) ; forbearance (Kshanti ) ; generosity (Daana) ; moral virtue (Shila ) ; and wisdom (Jnana ) .
