Fierce yet compassionate, this Six-Armed Black Mahakala Statue presents Shadbhuja Mahakala as the unwavering guardian of the Dharma. His wrathful face is set with a penetrating third eye beneath a five-skull crown that signifies the transformation of five poisons. Dressed in a tiger-skin garment, he wields Kartika knife to sever ego and Kapala to transform negativity on central arms, while he subdues another deity beneath his feet. Encircling him is a blazing flaming halo banded in skulls, and the whole sculpture rests on a lotus seat.

Every inch of this Shadbhuja Mahakala sculpture is the work of Newari master craftsmen in Nepal, built through centuries-old metal casting technique. Shaped from solid copper, painted in acrylic colors and illuminated with luminous gold gilding, it shows lifelike detail in its jewelry and serpent adornments. Semi-precious Turquoise and coral inlay on the earrings and ornaments complete its jeweled richness.

Standing 29.3 inches (74.5 cm) tall and weighing 26.08 kg, this commanding piece is a striking focal point for meditation spaces or Buddhist hall décor and a meaningful gift for collectors of buddhist artwork. Devotees turn to Shadbhuja Mahakala for protection from negative forces  and courage to cut through fear and delusion on the path to wisdom.

About Six-Armed Mahakala

Six-Armed Mahakala is a revered deity in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying the powerful aspect of compassion and fierce protection. Known as a wrathful manifestation of Avalokiteshvara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), he is depicted with six arms symbolizing the ability to act swiftly in all directions to remove obstacles and provide aid to practitioners. His white color signifies purity and a benevolent nature, setting him apart from the more common black Mahakala. Each of his hands holds symbolic items, such as a skull cup and ritual implements, representing the defeat of negative forces and the transformation of ignorance into wisdom. The Six-Armed Mahakala's presence is believed to offer protection, remove hindrances, and bring about prosperity and spiritual growth for those who invoke him.
