Vajrabhairava (Tibetan: dor je jig je. English: Vajra Terror) with the consort Vajra Vetali surrounded by the main protectors of the Gelugpa School. Vajrabhairava is a meditation deity (ishtadevata) of the Anuttarayoga Classification of Buddhist Tantra. As the supreme meditation deity of the Gelug Tradition Vajrabhairava is also looked upon as the Lord or Master of the various protector deities of the Gelug Tradition. Within the Himalayan and Tibetan art traditions it is common to find the painted composition of Vajrabhairava surrounded by these protector figures.

Vajrabhairava, in the center, is terrifying and wrathful, dark blue in color with nine faces, thirty-four hands and sixteen legs. The main face is that of a buffalo, with a red face above and the slightly angry face of Manjushri placed on top. The three right faces are yellow, dark blue and red and the three left are black, white and smoky. Each face has three large round eyes, bared white fangs and frightful expressions; dark yellow hair flows upward; adorned with bone ornaments and a necklace of fifty heads. The first pair of hands holds a curved knife and skull cup embracing the consort. The remaining hands hold a variety of objects. Vajra Vetali has one face and two hands, blue in color with orange hair pressed against the back; holding a skull cup in the left hand. The right legs of Bhairava are bent pressing down on various animals and gods. The left legs are extended straight and press upon various birds and gods; standing above an orange sun disc and multi-colored lotus completely surrounded by the orange flames of pristine awareness.
