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.
Mahakala is a deity common to Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. According to Hinduism, Mahakala is a manifestation of Shiva and is the consort of Hindu Goddess Kali and most prominently appears in Kalikula sect of Shaktism. Mahākāla also appears as a protector deity known as a dharmapala in Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly most Tibetan traditions (Citipati), in Tangmi and in Shingon. He is known as Dàhēitiān and Daaih'hāktīn (大黑天) in Mandarin and Cantonese, Daeheukcheon (대흑천) in Korean and Daikokuten (大黒天) in Japanese. In Sikhism, Mahākāla is referred to as Kal, who is the governor of Maya.
