Tibet Guge 06 Tsaparang White Temple 02 01 Hayagriva [6 of 45]

Immediately on the left of the door is a 5m-high terrific image of red Hayagriva (Tib. Tamdrin), looking at us with its three wide open eyes. Hayagriva used to have a horse head emerging from his hair, and his right hand would have held a vajra. As the guardian of the door, Hayagriva is portrayed at the entrance to the temple to keep away evil influences and to protect the sanctity of the place.
