Kula Kari: a mountain god from the border between Tibet and Bhutan. The name of the god derives from the traditional Bon usage and Kula Kari has also been absorbed into the Buddhist pantheon of subjugated mountain gods. There are both Bon and Buddhist liturgies for this god along with most mountain gods of Tibet and the Himalayan regions. (Also see the Mountain Gods Main Page and Mountain Gods Outline Page).
