Dakini Day

Vajravarahi, a key aspect of Vajrayogini in Tibetan Kagyu traditions, is depicted as a youthful, semi-wrathful deity. She stands on a white moon disc, adorned with bone ornaments and garlands of severed heads and red flowers. With two faces symbolizing relative and absolute truth, she wields a curved knife and holds a skull-cup of blood. Her black sow's head above her crown represents her triumph over ignorance. The thangka also features four heart-dakinis and the white sambhogakaya form of Vairocana Buddha. In the foreground, there are stacked jewels, auspicious substances, and skull-cups with blue nectar and fresh blood. Vajravarahi radiates wisdom fire, surrounded by a vibrant aura.
