Yama Dharmaraja Mandala (Tibetan: shin je cho gyal kyil khor).

Tibetan: Shin je cho gyal

At the center representing the central figure is a vajra stick and lasso. Representing the consort is a trident and skullcup. Surrounding that atop an eight spoked weapon wheel are the symbols of the eight principal attendants. All of this is encircled by a ring of skulls, blood and the eight great charnel grounds, again surrounded by the bright orange flames of pristine awareness.
