Description
Six-Arms Mahakala, The Fierce Protector of the Dharma
The Six-Arms Mahakala's fierce yet benevolent essence is beautifully depicted in this brocade-mounted artwork, created on cotton canvas using acrylic colors and adorned with 24K gold highlights. As a wrathful manifestation of Buddha, he dispels negative energies with his six arms, offering protection and guidance to practitioners. The gold embellishments enhance his strong presence, while the stunning brocade frame elevates this piece into a meaningful spiritual artwork and devotional symbol, ideal for meditation spaces.
Mahakala is shown with a wrathful expression as he continues to fulfill his protective role. His six arms, each wielding a distinct ritual item, illustrate his capability to confront malevolent energies from various directions simultaneously. Each of these items represents a unique aspect of his transformational and protective powers: a blazing sword, a trident, a skull cup containing the elixir of life, a damaru (hand drum), a khatvanga (sacred staff), and a noose. His body is adorned with a snake and skulls, symbolizing his dominion over rebirth and death.
