This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

“Kinkara are special Dharma Protectors for practitioners of Heruka and Vajrayogini. They are emanations of Heruka and Vajrayogini who emanate as skeletons. This appearance of being devoid of flesh symbolizes that enlightened beings are completely free from self-cherishing.” (from the website)
They remind me (in a free-associating, obvious kind of way) of the Yi Jing hexagram 23, Stripping the Corpse. Unadorned, stripped right down. Even the thangka has a minimal, empty quality to it.
