The wrathful dharma protectress Palden Lhamo (Skt. Śrī Devī; Tib. Dpal ldan lha mo) appears in her two-armed form as Magzor Gyalmo (Dmag gyi zor rgyal mo), the ‘Queen who Repels Armies’, sitting in the side-saddle position on a mule above a sea of blood. Encircled by billowing smoke, she brandishes a vajra-topped club in the right hand and holds a blood-filled skull close to her heart in the left. Dark-blue in colour and dressed in a fluttering robe, she wears a crown of five skulls, a garland of human heads, a tiger skin around her waist and the skin of a human being as a cloak. Another human skin is used as a saddle blanket. Unique to her is the peacock-feather parasol above her hair symbolizing her power and ability to transform all harm into wisdom. At the four corners are the Queens of the Four Seasons who emanate from Magzor Gyalmo’s head. Clockwise depicted from the upper left are the Autumn queen Śarad rājñī (Tib. Ston gyi rgyal mo), the Winter queen Hemanta rājñī, (Tib. Dgun gyi rgyal mo), the Spring queen Vasanta rājñī (Tib. Dpyid kyi rgyal mo) and the queen of the rainy season Varṣa rājñī, (Tib. Dbyar gyi rgyal mo).
