Mahakala is a protective deity known for his dwarf-like stature and black color, representing his changeless dharmakaya. Bearing serpents, a garland of severed heads, and a crown of five skulls signifying five defilements, he carries a Kartri to cut ego-clinging and a Kapala filled with blood to conquer evil. His three eyes signal clear understanding of the past, present, and future, while his blood-smeared mouth symbolizes his active pursuit of wickedness. Mahakala' s form reflects his strength to combat our inner battles and gives us inner peace and protection, as well as the power of clear comprehension.
