Companion of Gurgyi Gonpo

One of Gur-gyi mGon-po’s demonic companions. She is probably one of the five demonic dancers that accompanies this form of mGon-po, and, according to some, represent the five classes of dākinī. She holds a human heart in her left hand and scepter (or dagger?) in her right. She wears tiger skins and mirrors the ferocious aspect of the large central figure.
