The Vajra is composed of several parts: In the center is a sphere which represents Sunyata, the primordial nature of the universe, the underlying unity of all things. The thunderbolt or diamond that destroys all kinds of ignorance, and itself is indestructible. The Vajra is symbol of Indra. In tantric rituals, the Vajra symbolizes the male principle which represents method in the right hand, while the Bell symbolizes the female principle, held in the left hand. Their interaction leads to enlightenment.
Emerging from the sphere are two lotus flowers. One represents the phenomenal world (or in Buddhist terms Samsara), the other represents the noumenal world (or Nirvana). This is one of the fundamental dichotomies which are perceived by the unenlightened.
