Namo Shri Kalachakraya
Hail to Lord Kalachakra
DEITIES OF THE ENLIGHTENED MIND MANDALA
The clear area is the inner ledge with Bodhisattvas.
THE BODHISATTVAS
Looking similar to the Tathagatas, the six couples of Bodhisattvas are represented twice on the ledge at the ground level of the Mind Mandala; once with the male as main deity, once with the female as main deity. They are depicted the same as the Tathagatas. The Bodhisattvas confer the 'conduct initiation' (see Alternative Kalacakra).

The clear areas are the Mind Mandala gates where the Protectors reside.
THE PROTECTORS
All below 6 Protector couples (or Wrathful Deities) are included when depicting only the Mind Mandala of Kalacakra, but Sumbha and Raudrakshi with their consorts actually belong to the Body Mandala.
They are located in the entrance Gates of the Mind Mandala
In the full Body, Speech and Mind Mandala no less than 60 Protectors are placed. The ones below stand in the manner of Kalacakra and Vishvamata (see the detail on the right of Vighnantaka embraced by Stambhini).
The Protectors or Wrathful deities confer the 'name giving' initiation (see also Alternative Kalacakra).
