Vajrayogini is a principal tantric Buddhist deity and dakini, revered especially in Vajrayana Buddhism as a fully enlightened female Buddha and embodiment of supreme wisdom and compassion. Her name means "diamond" or "thunderbolt" yogini, symbolizing indestructible wisdom and spiritual power. She is often depicted as a fierce, red-skinned goddess holding ritual implements like a skull cup and curved knife, surrounded by cremation grounds, symbolizing the destruction of ego and illusion. Vajrayogini represents the path to female Buddhahood and is considered the queen of dakinis. Her practice aims to attain enlightenment quickly and is central to many Vajrayana rituals. Outside of Tibet, she is also significant in some Vajrayana traditions of India, Nepal, and China.
