In Tibetan Buddhism, Acala or Miyowa (མི་གཡོ་བ་, Wylie: "mi g.yo ba") is considered as belonging to the "vajrakula" ("vajra family", Tibetan: དོ་རྗེའི་རིགས་, "dorjé rik"), a category of deities presided over by the buddha Akṣobhya and may even be regarded, along with the other deities of the "kula", as an aspect or emanation of the latter. Indeed, he is sometimes depicted in South Asian art wearing a crown bearing an effigy of Akṣobhya. In Nepal, Acala may also be identified as a manifestation of the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī. He has a consort named Viśvavajrī in both the Nepalese and Tibetan traditions, with whom he is at times depicted in yab-yum union.
