In Vajarayana Buddhism, a Vajarayogini is a powerful deity who is the embodiment of a fiery consciousness and the potent powers of enlightenment. Depicted in this silver statue from Nepal, a Vajarayogini in Nepalese art is envisioned standing in the center of a flaming halo, in the Alidha posture, with a driguk knife and a skull cup in her hands. Adorned magnificently with coral and turquoise studded ornaments and a garland of skulls, and carrying severed heads on her staff, Vajarayogini is often equated with the Hindu goddess Kali.
