A Wrathful Female Protector. Dark blue in colour with one face and two hands she holds upraised a knife in the right and a round object held to the side in the left. A human skin drapes across the shoulders and she stands naked with the right leg raised above a red lotus blossom surrounded by thick red flames of wisdom fire.
