Devi Kurukulla is compared to goddess Tara, where Kurukulla in her red
avtaar exercises her powers of enchantment and bewitchment to control
the evil spirits, demons, and humans who work against the humanity and
its spiritual evolution. While if talking in terms of practical magic,
then she can bring anything imaginable under the practitioner's power.
She has the power to subjugate the demonic forces. In Tibet, she is
worshiped whenever starting a new project for her blessings. Along with
goddesses Manjushri and Sarasvati, she is worshiped by students to get
blessings.As per mythology, Kurukulla is sixteen years old since sixteen is considered an ideal number signifying perfection, four times four. She is depicted naked as unconditioned by destructive thoughts. The garland made of human bones adorns her persona. She signifies the sixth perfection. Like Kali, she is also shown in a dancing pose upon a male corpse, thus, signifying her active and energetic & compassionate activity highlighted in both Samsara and Nirvana.
