The images below portray Chakrasamvara with four faces and either twelve or sixteen arms. The special characteristic of these iconographic forms is the lack of a consort. The Tilopa and Mitra Yogin examples both appear to have sixteen arms and may have the same origin and source text.

Lineage Traditions:
- Blue in colour (12 arms)
- Tilopa (white in colour)
- Mitra Yogin (16 arms)
