The Khecarīcakra is the fifth and final cakra located just above the head. Each one of these holy sites (pītha) is presided over by a particular Khecarī (‘sky-goddess’). This Kuhudī-pītha is connected with the goddess Mahābalā.

Prayāga is presided over by the Goddess (Devī) named Mahābalā accompanied by the Field-protector (Kṣetrapāla) named Ulkāmukha. Their weapon possibly corresponds to the mudrā and lakuṭa. A similar system appears in the 9th century Vajraḍākatantra (chapter 18).
