Vajravidharna is a form of Vajrapani who is manifested as both a peaceful deity and a wrathful deity. As a wrathful deity he sometimes has a consort. While his practice has fallen out of favor over the past few hundred years, in the present day the Sakyapas are the principal holders of this practice.
