conical flour and butter cones used as ritual offerings to a person's enlightened beings and protectors.

(Skt.: balimta), stylized food offerings usually in the shape of a cone or pyramid, adorned with small and large 'buttons' and of various colours. Often the shape of a torma is deity specific. During certain Vajrayana initiations the torma is used to represent the deity.

(Tib.): Ritual offering cake, used in tantric rituals.
