Six-Armed Mahakala (All Forms) - Updated

The Six-armed Mahakala Page has been updated with additional images. There are many different types of six-armed Mahakala (Shadbhuja). Granted most paintings and sculpture depict the Shangpa Kagyu form of six-armed Mahakala, but there are others which are based on different Tantric literature and are passed down through different Indian and Tibetan lineages.
