[Chiti-pati]
Chiti-pati means Lord of the Cemetery and lures enemies of Buddhism to the graveyard.
They are depicted as a pair of divine beings, a husband and wife, holding staffs made of human bones and dancing,
or as skeletons in a state of intercourse.
According to legend, they were a pair of ascetic monks who were beheaded and killed by thieves during deep meditation, and then deified. For this reason, they are considered enemies of thieves and are believed to ward off burglars.
They are also revered as beings who repel demonic illnesses, and in Tibet, people dress up as Chiti-pati and dance during festivals to pray for good health and freedom from illness.
