Marici Buddhist Gods Symbols Charm

Marici is the Buddhist goddess of the dawn who represents awakening, triumph over evil, and victory in the face of adversity. She symbolizes light overcoming darkness, which is the metaphor for spiritual development and meditation. There are a variety of forms she appears in. She is usually yellow or red, with one, three, or more faces and six to twelve arms, riding in a chariot drawn by seven hogs or horses, removing all barriers to contentment and well-being. She occasionally rides a white horse through the sky, driving back the night with the orb of the sun in her extended right hand. Her mood can range from peaceful to wrathful.
