Bajrayogini Dance

Bajrayogini is one of the four tantric goddesses of the Kathmandu valley who is revered as the goddess of yogic practices. Her temple is located in the village of Sankhu some one hour from Kathmandu. Replete with symbolic hand movements and animated facial expressions, red-costumed dancers sometimes move languidly to depict tranquility and sometimes vigorously to convey anger. It is a very interesting dance that is captivating to watch.
