Nine-deity Hevajra Mandala in the tradition of Dombi Heruka.

The principal deity depicts the sixteen-armed form of the Yidam Hevajra with eight faces and four legs known as Kapaladhara Hevajra (Tib.: Töpa Kye Dorje). Hevajra is united (yuganaddha) with his consort Nairatmya - also known as Vajranairatmya. In the upper register and in the four corners the principal teachers of the Sakya Hevajra lineage are depicted.
