Often depicted with a terrifying expression, multiple arms, and holding symbolic implements, he embodies the enlightened energy that destroys ignorance, ego, and negative forces. In the Karma Kagyu lineage, Bernagchen Mahakala is especially significant as the personal guardian of the Karmapa, ensuring the protection and continuity of the teachings.

This deity is invoked in rituals and meditation for protection, overcoming obstacles, and supporting spiritual progress.
