Wrathful Tara

Postby underthetree » Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:24 am

For personal (practice-related) reasons I'm in search of all the information I can gather on the Vajrayana practice of Wrathful Tara - Ugratara, in her two-armed form. Similar to Throma, in that she is dark in colour, wears a tiger skin and is dancing, but her attributes are a skull-cup and a sword.

So far I've gathered that there is a relationship with Ekajati but the form I'm interested in is different, probably an Indian or Newari one.

Can anyone point me in a fruitful direction?
