HAYAGRIVA (2)
Tibetan Protection God
Also known as Tam Drin Sang Drup, Tamdrin, Tamdrin-Dorje
Horse-necked deity of wrath
One of the Dharmapalas, he is the Buddhist version of Hayagriva.
He is known as the ‘Horse-Necked One’ for the simple reason that he has the neck of a horse. Not to mention the head too.
He is a God of Wrath, but in a righteous ‘protector of the faith’ kinda way. He is also a Protector of Horses.
Warning: he is extremely wrathful. Especially if you make fun of his horsey head.
