Shri Hevajra, Naraitmya and the Eight Goddesses (Tibetan: pal gye pa dor je lha mo gye), one of the the principal deities of Tantric Buddhism.
At the top center is Vajradhara Buddha surrounded by Indian and Tibetan lineage teachers.
Below Hevajra are two rows of four goddesses named Vetali, Dombini, Ghashmari and Pukkashi and on the left Candali, Chauri, Shavari and Gauri. They each have one face and two hands, various colours, wearing bone ornaments and a necklace of fifty skulls, standing above a corpse, sun and lotus seat.
