Introduction To Chitipati :
A well-known deity in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Vajrayana or Tantric tradition, is Chitipati, also known as Citipati. Chitipati is frequently portrayed as a dancing skeletal figure known as the "Lord of the Cemetery" or the "Cemetery Guardian." This representation symbolizes life's impermanence and death's inevitability, central themes in Buddhist teachings.
