Kurukullā (Tibetan: rig che ma, English: The One of the Action Family), Goddess of Power.
Powerful, red in colour with one face, hair flowing upward, three eyes and four hands, slightly fierce in expression, she holds a bow and arrow in the first pair of hands and a hook and lasso in the lower pair. All the hand objects are constructed of red utpala flowers and used as implements for the subjugation of others. Adorned with jewel ornaments, a tiara, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and silk scarves, she wears a lower skirt of tiger skin. Standing atop a corpse, sun disc and lotus blossom she dances amidst the circular flames of the fire of pristine awareness.
The goddess of power, Kurukulle, is one of the twenty-one forms of the goddess Tara. She ensures that one gains power over any activity desired and dispels obstacles. Tibetan Buddhism holds if those who engage in business or who seek an attractive partner rely on and worship her, she can surely grant the accomplishment of whatever one wishes-for example, conferring without hardship her hook and lasso that can draw in what is desired.
