Video: Heruka Manjuvajra
Manjuvajra is a semi-wrathful, red manifestation, of Manjushri embracing the consort Nairatmya. He has eight faces, sixteen arms and four legs pressing down on the four maras appearing as Brahma, Indra, Vishnu and Shiva. This iconography appears to be based on the model of Shri Hevajra.
