The figurinehas been crafted in Brass and displays itsintricate craftsmanship. Vajrayogini is a Hindu goddess of knowledge and wisdom in the Buddhist world, also known as Ugra Tara. Therefore, the goddess is equally sacred to both the Hindus and Buddhists. The name Vajrayogini suggests a close association with Tantric beliefs of Vajrayana Buddhism. Bajra, or Vajra, is the Buddhist symbol of thunder and lightning. Therefore, the wielder of Vajra is named as Vajrayogini. The tantric beliefs, developed as a synthesis of ancient pre-Hindu religions and new ideas, rejected many orthodox Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. Therefore, the tantric believers brought out a Jogini as the female counterpart to a Bhairab, the angered or wrathful form of Lord Shiva. Therefore, Vajrayogini can be termed as the wrathful form of Shiva's partner Mahadevi or Parvati holding a Vajra but in a more peaceful manifestation. A parallel development in Buddhism is that the goddess Vajrayogini is the female counterpart of the Dhyani Buddhas. The goddess Vajrayogini is believed to be one of the wisest and strongest deities who can grant the gift of superior enlightenment to anyone she thinks deserves it.
