Kurukulla Tibetan Red Tara. This is the Great Goddess of Tibetan Tantra, her red-bronze color connoting love both carnal as well as spiritual (the two are mystically the same in tantra). She dances upon the demon Rahu (ignorance) and destroys him. Her bow and arrow pierce through difficulties, her lower right hand offers the abayah mudra of reassurance. Her mala of skulls shows she is the Tibetan form of Kali , she who transforms death to life, wrath to auspiciousness. Buddha Amitabha is seated within her tiara, and she offers wealth and well-being to her devotees. See Tara.
