Notes about the Central Figure
Classification: Object/Concept
Torana: the missing centerpiece is likely to be the meditational deity Vajrayogini. At the top center is Heruka Chakrasamvara. The surrounding figures, some with animal faces, are the directional dakinis associated with the Tantric systems of Vajrayogini and Chakrasamvara.
