Black Mahakala
Mahakal, also known as the Great Mahakal, is an important figure in Hinduism and Buddhism. In Buddhism, dreaming of a crow, black horse, or black wolf indicates Mahakal's presence. The Black Mahakal, or Bernagchen, protects the Karmapas of the Karma Kagyu lineage. He has two arms and wears a crown of five skulls, symbolizing the transformation of the five poisons of delusion—lust, hatred, ignorance, pride, and jealousy—into wisdom. Mahakal appears in different forms, wearing tiger skin to symbolise the purification of desires, and has three eyes that represent his understanding of time. He is often shown fiercely in front of flames.
Hand-painted in Nepal.
The natural pigment painting measures 24 Inches by 17 Inches, with an additional silk Thangka bordering it.
