Mahākāla in Gold; ནག་པོ་ཆེན་པོ།; 玛哈嘎拉
Mahakala represents the wealth aspect of tantra and specifically supports the comfort and economic well-being of tantric practitioners. According to his sadhana, he is described as follows: "His body is white, he has a wrathful face, and three eyes. He possesses six arms, and his main right hand holds a wish-fulfilling jewel (Chintamani) mounted on a jewel-tipped handle, positioned in front of his chest."
In Tibetan, the White Mahakala is known as mGon po yid bzhin nor bu, where the last four words translate to "Wish-Granting Gem." He is regarded as the special protector of Mongolian Buddhists. His iconography is rich with symbols that emphasize his status as a wealthy deity. For instance, instead of containing the mortal remains of victims, his skull bowl is filled with various jewels.
Hand-painted in Nepal.
The natural Pigment Painting measures 21 Inches by 15 Inches, with an additional silk Thangka bordering it.
