Kurukulla is a goddess with four arms and a red body. Her one pair of hands holds a bow and arrow made of flowers, while the other pair holds a hook and noose made of flowers. She crushes the asura Rahu by dancing in a Dakini-pose (the one who devours the sun).

According to Hindu astrology, Rahu is a snake with a demon head (Navagraha) who represents the ascending lunar node. Kurukulla was most likely an Indian tribal deity who wielded magical power. At least as early as the Hevajra Tantra, which contains her mantra, she was absorbed into the Buddhist pantheon. In Tibetan Buddhism, her function is the “red” function of subjugation.
