noun
Citipati; skeletal Buddhist demi-gods
A pair of skeletal deities in Tibetan Buddhism, often depicted dancing; protectors of cemeteries and charnel grounds. The term is highly domain-specific and rarely encountered outside Buddhist art and ritual contexts.

屍陀林王は、チベット仏教において墓地の守護者とされる。

From Sanskrit Citipati, via Buddhist texts. The kanji 屍陀林王 is a Chinese translation of the concept, literally 'king of the charnel ground'.
