Dorje Shugden, Dorje Legpa & Dorje Ta'og Confusions
The three Tibetan protector deities, Dorje Shugden, Dorje Legpa and Dorje Ta'og, are commonly depicted wearing large riding hats and flowing garments of various colours. They also ride atop a snow lion (or other mounts such as a horse). They each have a wrathful appearance, maroon in colour, with one face and two hands, holding either a vajra scepter (Legpa & Ta'og) or a curved knife (Shugden). The main confusion in identification arises from the (1) large riding hat, (2) snow lion mount and (3) the maroon body colour.
