Ekajati, whose name means "one whose hair is arranged in a single chignon," is an embodiment of the wrathful, protective energy of Vajrayana Buddhism.

- Attire and Symbolism: She is adorned with a necklace of severed human heads, a symbol of her control over destructive forces. A tiger-skin covers her hips, adding to her fierce nature.
