Overcome all obstacles, exorcise spirits, and remove curses and spells by calling upon the ferocious Goddess Dukkar and her entourage of deities. Known as Dukkar Tordog in Tibetan, this complex ritual includes torma offerings to the Four Heavenly Kings, the gods Brahma and Shiva, and the nagas and serpent beings.
In times of uncertainty, disaster, epidemics and conflict, this puja helps ward off negativities, protects against supernatural forces, and dispels problems caused by over 60 classes of spirits to create favourable conditions and renewed hope.

Who is Dukkar?
Dukkar is a female Buddha who grants powerful protection from over 60 classes of spirits. It is said that her prayers fortify our body so strongly that spirits literally cannot invade. Known as White Umbrella or Sitatapatra in Sanskrit, she is also very healing and strengthens the body against physical problems.
Her practice is highly effective for purifying the karma of being wrongfully accused such as in arguments or legal cases. She is also beneficial for people who travel often or who are exposed to risks and dangers daily.
