They center around a deity named Ḍhuṇḍhirāja (or Ḍhuṇḍhi-vināyaka) positioned near the Viśvanātha temple, which lies at the heart of Kāśī, near the Gaṅges. This arrangement symbolises the interconnecting relationship of the macrocosmos, the mesocosmos and the microcosmos.

Thus like the Siddhas of the previous Ages, Śrīkaṇṭha also had disciples [i.e., Varada]. These were the Lords of the Ages who are said to be four aspects of the First Siddha who descend into the world in the last Age, each into a ‘particular division’.

[...] He has eighteen arms and is adorned with many ornaments. A skull, conch, noose, gaud, (a threatening gesture with the) index finger, bow, shield and a club studded with iron are on the left hand side. O dear one, a trident, double-headed drum, sword, ascetic’s staff, pestle, bell, thread, arrow and boon-bestowing gesture (varada) are on the right”.

(cf. Mahāśrī Tārā). [...] Strictly speaking, only those deities can be called Tārās to whom the mantra: “oṃ tārā tuttāre ture svāhā” is assigned. [...] From the colour of the different Tārās it will be possible to refer them [viz., Varada] to their respective Kulas or families presided over by the five Dhyāni Buddhas.
