Wrathful Deity from the Nyingma 'Revealed Treasure Tradition'.
He is wrathful in appearance and red of colour, holding upraised in the right hand a pestle and extended outward in the left an eight-spoked weapon wheel. Various animals such as scorpions, tigers and wolves emante from the body as he stands surrounded by orange flames and black smoke.
