Hevajra
 Hevajra is a
famous Sikkimese painting found in Pemayangtse Monastery of West Sikkim
District. The main representation of the art is Shakti. Hevajra is a
popular deity in Tibet, where he belongs to the yi-dam (tutelary, or
guardian, deity) class. The tutelary god Hevajra is described, with all
the rites and ceremonies used in his worship, in the sutra of the
Hevajra tantra, which figured historically in Drogön Chögyal Phagpa's
conversion of the Mongolian emperor Khubilai to Tibetan Buddhism in the
thirteenth century A.D. |
