Vajrakilaya

Vajrakilaya
SC90: Unusually blue item

A wall painting at Rangjung Woesel Choling Dratshang.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajrakilaya

Buddhist deities take on various shapes, in their wrathful manifestation as protectors of faith they usually have blue bodies and three eyes (and sometimes multiple heads, legs and arms)

Other examples:
Part of a Zangdogpalri (Guru Rinpoche's "paradise") painting at Trongsa Dzong- the sinners must stay outside- very similar to Christian hell;-)



Protective deity (Vajrapani) guarding the entrance at Tamshing Lhakang

Kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Ich glaube, mein Neffe war mal dort. Es kann aber auch Nepal gewesen sein ;-)
