6 Armed Dharmapala Mahakala:
Mahakala looks wrathful and is bedecked with serpents. He wears a garland of severed heads and a crown of five skulls, which represent five poisons of delusions namely lust, hatred, ignorance, pride, and jealousy transformed into the wisdom of five Buddhas. His right hand holds a karter symbolizing that he has cut off the ego, clinging, and attachment. His left hand holds a kapala filled with blood symbolizing the subjugation of evil. Since, there are many forms of Mahakala such as two-armed, four-armed, and multiple-armed; the deity holds different objects according to its different manifestations. He also wears tiger skin symbolizing the purification of desires. He has three eyes symbolizing his clear comprehension of Three times. He looks ferocious against a background of blazing fire.
~ Six-armed Mahakala, a wrathful emanation of the Great Compassionate One, Arya Avalokiteshvara, a Dharmapala whose transmission originated with the Indian Mahasiddha Shavaripa.
