In Tibetan Buddhism, khandroma is a type of female spirit. The name translates as 'she who traverses the sky' or 'she who moves in space' or, more poetically, as 'sky walker' or 'sky dancer'. She is also a kind of wisdom queen (Ch: 明妃 Míng fēi) that is hugged by a male deity in Yab-yum (Tibetan literally, "father-mother"). It translates the tantric concept of dakini (Sanskrit: डाकिनी ḍākinī, Pali ḍāginī, Mongolian: дагина), derived from a figure of medieval Hindu legend (Bhagavata Purana, Brahma Purana, Markandeya Purana, Kathasaritsagara), a female imp in the train of Kali who feeds on human flesh (her masculine counterpart being called ḍāka). They are comparable to malevolent or vengeful female spirits, deities, imps or fairies in other cultures, such as the Persian peri. etymology: khandroma (Standard Tibetan: མཁའ་འགྲོ་མ་ khandroma, Wylie: mkha' 'gro ma, TP: kanzhoima; Mongolian: хандарма; Chinese: 空行母, Pinyin: Kōngxíng Mǔ)
