Her body, a striking black, contrasts with her face, which is that of a white lion with three round yellow eyes, lending her a fierce and captivating appearance. Her open mouth reveals a yellow beard, eyebrows, and upward-flowing hair, adding to her distinctive features. She holds a curved knife called Kartika in her right hand, raised to the sky, and a skull cup of blood to her heart with her left hand. Simhamukha carries a Khatvanga staff, tipped with a trident, in the bend of her elbow supported against the shoulder. Her attire is equally unique, with a tiara adorned with five skulls, an elephant skin, bone ornaments, a long snake, a red scarf, and a necklace of fifty freshly severed heads. She wears a skirt made of tiger skin and stands on her left leg with her right leg bent upwards. She tramples on a double triangle symbol, a corpse, the sun, and a multi-colored lotus seat. Simhamukha represents great fierceness and resides in a blazing fire of pristine awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimhamukha, also known as Simha Mukhi Jogini, appears in a wrathful and demonic feminine form. However, her nature is not evil or sinister. Instead, her wrathful aspect (khro gzugs) skillfully overcomes and subdues violent negative energies. Simha Mukhi is a Jnana Dakini, a wisdom goddess, who plays a significant role in Vajrayana Buddhism. Her presence and symbolism are integral to the understanding and practice of this profound spiritual tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSize of Painting : 11-inch x 15-inch (28 cm x 38 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nSize with the Brocade: 26-Inch x 36-Inch ( 66 cm x 89 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Handmade Cotton Canvas\u003cbr\u003e\nColor: Gold\/Natural Pigments\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore making a purchase, please take note of the following important information:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Lighting and screen resolution may cause slight color variations.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Paintings are more captivating when viewed in person.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The size mentioned for the painting does not include the outer border.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Paintings will be securely packed in a PVC tube to ensure safety during transit.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Buyers are responsible for any additional fees at their destination, including import taxes and duties, which are not included in the purchase price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tibetan Thangka Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53226483777833,"sku":"SIMHAMUKHIBR2635","price":398.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1282\/8201\/files\/il_fullxfull.6965204278_f32h.jpg?v=1780502178","url":"https:\/\/www.tibetanthangkaart.com\/products\/hand-painted-simhamukhi-thangka-painting-with-silk-brocade","provider":"Tibetan Thangka Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
