Four of the images below are South Asian and they stand on their left legs, which is unusual. Do they have two or four legs? The appear without a Tantric consort.
Some Nepalese forms of Hevajra and Nairatmya have the goddess standing on her right leg with the left raised. In the image of the painting below there are three non-standard forms of Hevajra, such as with a red consort, another with stacked heads similar to Vajrabhairava, and then solitary with three faces and six arms.
