6 Armed Mahakala Statue for Religious and Meditative Purposes
This traditional Mahakala statue made of oxidized copper was skillfully hand-carved in our workshop by traditionally trained Vajrayana Artists. The wrathful expression on the deity's face and the fiery motifs surrounding him symbolize his function as a remover of barriers and a defender of the faithful. He is depicted standing on a human figure with an elephant head, representing the triumph of Mahakala, or good over obstacles and challenges. The deity bears three pairs of arms that each carry an item symbolic of his divine powers that symbolizes his ability to bestow protection. He can also be seen wearing a garland of skulls representing life's transient nature and the ultimate victory over death. Every detail has been crafted with care and precision, resulting in a truly magnificent work of art.
The statue also features partial silver plating and gold gilding that adds to the aesthetic beauty of the piece and provides it with an element of luxury. The figure is perfect for any devotee like yourself and can be used for Buddhist rituals and activities like meditation and yoga.

Mahakala is the guardian god of Mahayana Buddhism and all Tibetan Buddhist schools. He represents various ways, each with its features and characteristics. In some circumstances, he is seen as the emanation of distinct beings, such as Avalokitesvara or Chakrasamvara. The five kleshas (adverse ailments) are transmuted into the five pearls of wisdom, and Mahakala is typically represented with a crown of five skulls.
