Ushnishavijaya ("Victorious Crown Ornament") is one of the three long-life deities, the other two being Amitayus and White Tara. She is often invoked in old age ceremonies such as the Bhimaratha ritual practiced by the Newari, in which people over the age of seventy-seven are prepared for afterlife in the Western Paradise.
