Two skeleton dancing Thangka Painting is also known as “CITIPATI”. The word Citipati is made up of combination of two Sanskrit words “Citi” and “Pati”, which translates as “PATI” lord and “CITI” of the funeral. These two figures are considered as principles of dharma protector and are associated with the tantric system of Vajrayogini in the form of ‘Naro khichari’ or ‘Naropa’s Dakini. The story behind these figures goes like this, once they were monks and were beheaded by the thieves when they were meditating. Later they took the revenge on thieves by transforming into skeleton spirits.
