Vajrabhairava is a meditational deity (yidam) and also sometimes a protector deity in Vajrayana Buddhism. Vajrabhairava is usually depicted as a blue wrathful deity with the head of a buffalo, sometimes in union with a consort, Vajravetali. Vajrabhairava is a wrathful emanation of Manjushri, whose peaceful head tops his own.
