Krodikali Buddhist Gods Symbols Charm

Krodikali, or Troma Nagmo, also known as the Black Wrathful Lady, is the Great Mother of Compassion and a manifestation of Vajravarahi. She represents wisdom in a feminine form and her worship is one of the greatest level beliefs in Vajrayana associated with Chod Practice. She dances upon a corpse, a sun disk, and a lotus while carrying a curved knife with a Vajra handle in her spread right hand and a skull cup filled with blood in her lowered left hand. She is covered in a shawl made of human skin, a loincloth made of tiger skin, a garland made of fifty severed heads, and an elephant hide draped over her back. A trident-crowned Khatvanga is resting in the bend of her left arm. The angry and squealing head of a sow protrudes from the crown of her head, where her yellow hair flows upward over her five-skull crown.
