Original Hand Painted Six-Armed Mahakala Mahankala / Masterpiece Large Tibetan Compassion, Meditation Thangka / Thanka Painting From Nepal

This is a master-quality Six-Armed Mahakala or Kala Bhairabha Tibetan Thangka Painting. Mahakala is a God common to both Hinduism and Tantric Buddhism. In Buddhism, Mahakala is a fierce form of Lord Vishnu, whereas, in Hinduism, he is a fierce manifestation of both Shiva and Vishnu and is the consort of the goddess Mahakali. Mahakala is considered a guardian deity. He is depicted in several forms, each with distinctly different qualities and aspects. Mahakala is also known as Kala Bhairava or Mahakala Bhairava in Hinduism, and there are many Mahakala temples in Nepal.

The two-armed “Black-Cloaked Mahakala” is a protector of the Karma Kagyu school clad in the cloak of a māntrika “warlock”.

His imagery derives from the terma of the Nyingma school and was adopted by the Karma Kagyu during the time of Karma Pakshi, 2nd Karmapa Lama.

He is often depicted with his consort, Rangjung Gyalmo. He is often thought to be the primary protector, but he is, in fact, the main protector of the Karmapas specifically.

Four-Armed Mahākāla is technically the primary protector. Six-Armed Mahākāla is also a common Dharmapala in the Kagyu school.
