Kurukulla's name translates to "She Who Causes to Shake" or "She Who Is the Enchantress," reflecting her ability to influence and magnetize. In Tibetan Buddhist iconography, she is typically depicted as a youthful and beautiful goddess adorned with various ornaments and standing on a lotus flower. Her red or pink color symbolizes her association with passion, desire, and activity. She is particularly revered in rituals related to love and relationships, where her enchanting powers are sought to enhance one's romantic connections or to overcome obstacles in love.
From a red eight-petalled lotus at the practitioner's heart arise eight red bees, which are visualized as flying out from his nostril and entering the nostril of the person to be subjugated. Here they suck the vowel syllables from that persons heart with their 'pollen gathering sucking tubes', then return with their 'nectar' to their 'hive' in the practitioners heart. The symbolism of red bees intoxicated with honey, of red utpala flowers laden with fragrant nectar, and of the snaring, hooking, and piercing activities of Kurukulla's flower-attributes, reveal the sexual magnetism of this seductive goddess.
