Standing
in the majestic Alidha posture, the celestial being enlivening this handmade
gilded copper
Nepalese statue is a Vajrayogini, a powerful being who is evoked by a
Buddhist practitioner to remove the obstacles from their path to enlightenment.
Her three eyes are capable of seeing the past, present, and future.
She has intricate jewelry created from human skulls that adorn her
transcendental form. A "Khatvanga" with three human heads, which
stand for youth, aging, and death, is affixed on her left shoulder. In Tantric
rites, the cleaver in her hand symbolizes severing ties with the outside world.
She accepts the sacrifice made by a yogi by drinking heartily from a skull cup
that represents a skull. She tramples under her feet those who obstruct yogis'
ascent on the path of faith.
