Rakta Yamari
Rakta Yamari is a Tantric Buddhist meditational deity which is a wrathful form of bodhisattva Manjushri or Yamantaka. Yamari deities have two forms: red and black, and are part of the Anuttarayoga Class of Tantric Buddhism.
The Ngor Mandala collection of the Sakya tradition alone lists eight different forms/lineages of the blue/black buffalo-faced Vajrabhairava and four of red Rakta- or blue Krishna-Yamari. All the former are yidams whereas Yamaraja is a Dharma protector.
Rakta Yamari of Virupa and Rakta Yamari of Shridhara appear in chapter 8 of The Collection of All Tantras, compiled by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Jamyang Loter Wangpo.
