Mahâkâla [Tib.: »Nag po chen po«] belongs to the Dharmapalas, the protectors of the Buddhism. There are 75 different kind of manifestations. This Thangka shows him as the wrathful black protector with six arms.
Mahakala is one of the »Eight Guardians of the Law«, whose duty is to protect Buddhism against its enemies.
He is the wrathful deity that destroys mind chatter and brings our minds back into attentive focus.
He is stomping on a human body with his feet. This symbolically represents the trampling of the personifications of suffering that cause beings to rotate in the world of »Samsara« and are caused by an unlucky birth. »Samsara« refers to the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, also known as reincarnation.
