Yidam

Kakasya is a guardian goddess with the face of a crow: one of the bird-headed goddesses associated with the mandalas of various tutelary, or personal, deities.

In the mandala of Vajravarahi, Kakasya is the blue crow-headed dakini that is associated with the East .

Ulukasya in the North is green with the head of a hawk. Bird-headed goddesses have existed in human consciousness since paleolithic times, and there are several in the pantheon of ancient Egypt.

Svanasya, in the west is red with the head of a dog, and Sukarasya, appears in the south; she is yellow with the head of a sow.
