Thangka of Mahakala is handpainted on cotton canvas by Thangka artist from Nepal. The size of this thangka is 50 x 40cm and its weight is 0.1kg.
Mahakala is presented at the centre of the thangka. The ever-innovative Tibetan artist, on the other hand, was not satisfied with the aforementioned Mahakala visualizations. He was interested in the production of an icon that portrayed Mahakala’s position as a powerful guardian of Buddhist viharas in a forceful and hard-hitting manner.
