PALDEN LHAMO

PALDEN LHAMO-FEMALE GUARDIAN Palden lhamo is an old Tibetan female guardian deity. She is the only female deity of the 8 dharmapalas. She is worshiped in particular by the yellow hat monks of the Gelugpa school of Tibetan manifestation of Tara. Palden lhamo is pictured riding on a mule through a sea of blood. She is black and blue, with sagging breasts, flaming eye brows and a mustache (not very feminine) in her hand she carries a cup made of her Chile�s skull, who was the product of an incestuous act. She is also surrounded by the loops of a string made with 15 severed heads. In her navel we can see a bright sun disc.
