    Vajravarahi Five Deity (Tibetan: dor je phag mo lha nga): principal tutelary deity of the Six Yogas of Naropa.

    Sanskrit: Vajravarahi Tibetan: Dor je pag mo With a fierce expression, slightly peaceful and slightly wrathful, she is red in colour with one face, three eyes and dark yellow hair flowing upward, at the crown a black boar's head. The right hand holds aloft a curved flaying knife with a gold vajra handle and the left to the heart a white skullcup. In the bend of the left elbow stands an upright tantric katvanga staff, ornate with an orange streamer. Adorned with a tiara of gold and five white skulls, green ribbons and gold and jewel earrings, a garland of fifty fresh heads, a garland of flowers, a bone necklace, girdle, bracelets and anklets, she wears a long green scarf around the shoulders. With the right leg raised in a dancing posture, the left presses on a sun disc atop a prone figure. Above a moon disc and pink lotus seat, she is completely surrounded by the tight curling flames of orange pristine awareness fire. In the four directions stand the four attendant Yoginis in the same appearance as Vajravarahi. At the top right is red Khandaroha, to the left yellow Rupini, at the bottom right green Lama, to the left dark blue Dakini. The expansive open foreground is adorned with an offering display of wishing jewels, red coral, white conch and gold ingots. The tiered earthen landscape diminishes upward into a vast open sky. At the top center is the Karmapa, with the hands at the heart holding the stem of a lotus flower. Wearing the orange and red robes of a monk, the lower body is wrapped with a yellow meditation cloak. The top of the head is adorned with a black vajra crown. Enveloped in spheres of light and ascending rainbow streams he sits on a cushioned seat indicating his earthly status. At the bottom center is the Protector with Black Cloak - (Bernag Chen), fearsome in appearance with a huge head, again the size of the body, the wide red mouth is gaping with exposed fangs and a curled tongue, three round eyes stare forward and brown hair flows upward like flames. The right hand holds aloft a curved skinning knife and the left to the heart grasps a blood filled skullcup. This form of Vajravarahi is one of the special practices of the Kagyu Tradition and arises from the Chakrasamvara cycle of tantras belonging to the Wisdom (Mother) class of Anuttarayoga Tantra.
