Magzor Gyalmo: fierce protector goddess from the classification of Shri Devi (Tibetan: pal den lha mo) and the wrathful form of the peaceful goddess Sarasvati.
Tibetan: Magzor Gyalmo
Dark blue in colour with one face and two hands she holds upraised in the right a vajra tipped staff. The left hand holds to the heart a skullcup filled with blood. Seated atop a light brown mule crossing a sea of blood, she is surrounded by dark smoke and wisps of orange flame. A blue makara-faced attendant leads the mule in front and a red lion-faced attendant follows behind.
