Vajrayogini (Skt. Vajrayoginī; Tib. རྡོ་རྗེ་རྣལ་འབྱོར་མ་, dorje naljorma, Wyl. rdo rje rnal 'byor ma) — a wisdom dakini. The practice of Vajrayogini is especially popular in the Highest Yoga Tantra of the Kagyü, Sakya and Gelug schools and the most well known aspect of the deity is the one known as Kechari according to Naropa's system (Tib. ན་རོ་མཁའ་སྤྱོད་, naro khachö, Wyl. na ro mkha' spyod). Vajrayogini is usually depicted as red in colour with a semi-wrathful expression.
