Kurukulla began as a tribal goddess linked to enchantment and magical influence before becoming a key figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, especially in the Hevajra Tantra. Legend tells of her as a forgotten queen who used potent magic to win back her husband's affection, embodying attraction and sway. Known also as Red Tara and an aspect of Tara, her Tibetan name Rigjyedma means “she who inspires knowledge.” She grants her followers the power to charm others and achieve their goals, while gently guiding those who have lost their way back to the compassionate path of Dharma.
