Viśuddhaheruka (विशुद्धहेरुक) is displayed in the northern part of the third tier of the bkra shis sgo mang Stupa for Phag mo gru pa.—The central panel of Ratnacuḍa (Cuḍamāṇi / Gtsug gi nor bu) was flanked by two side panels of Viśuddha Heruka (Yang dag He ru ka), to his right side (seen from the central deity), and the eight-handed Aṣṭabhuja Tārā, to his left. Viśuddha Heruka has three faces and six hands and embraces his consort Krodhīśvarī. Both stand in the middle of the panel surrounded by their retinue of eight Gaurī Ma mo consisting of Gaurī, Caurī, Pramohā, Vetālī, Pukkasī, Ghasmarī, Śmaśānī and Caṇḍālī which usually occupy the main directions and intermediate directions in the meditative visualization. A panel, some time ago offered by Soo Tze Oriental Antiques, depicts this very maṇḍala (pl. 300).
