Patch／Ashura

Ashura originally refers to a god in Hinduism, known as a being full of vigor who loves conflict and embodies hatred and anger. Later, after receiving the teachings of Shakyamuni, Ashura became one of the eight guardian deities that protect Buddhism. Ashura is depicted with red skin and has three faces and six arms, appearing in an armed form.
