Torma (gTor ma in Tibetan) is a sacred ritual offering object central to Vajrayana Buddhist practice. Traditionally sculpted from roasted barley flour (tsampa) and butter. Tormas are shaped and painted according to precise iconographic specifications for each deity, ritual, or ceremony. They serve as the physical residence of an invoked deity, a food offering, a weapon against negative forces, or a symbolic representation of the enlightened mind depending on the context of the practice. Tormas appear in nearly every Tibetan Buddhist ritual, from daily altar offerings and fire pujas (homa) to elaborate drubchen ceremonies and Cham dance festivals. Their color, shape, ornament, and placement are all governed by centuries of unbroken ritual tradition passed down through lineage holders and monastic institutions.
