Tagla Membar (English: Tiger-God, Flaming with Fire), the fierce form of a direct disciple of Tonpa Shenrab.
Wrathful, red in colour, with one face and two hands, he has three large round eyes, an open snarling mouth and orange-brown hair flaming upward. The right and left hands are both upraised and outstretched holding a golden wheel in the right and nine swords in the left. Adorned with a crown of five dry skulls, gold earrings, necklaces and freshly severed heads, across the shoulders he wears a green scarf and wrathful skins of animals and a human. Around the waist is a tiger skin skirt and snakes adorn the body. With the right leg bent and left straight in an aggressive posture atop two prone figures, a sun disc and multi-coloured lotus seat he stands encircled by the swirling orange flames of pristine awareness. Numerous wrathful retinue deities surround the central figure.
