The 36 pairs of Ḍākinīs [viz., Śaśī] and Vīras are yellow in color; the shapes of their faces are in accordance with their names [e.g., Hare]; they have four arms; they hold a skull bowl, a skull staff, a small drum, and a knife.

Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources.
