Tibetan Buddhist Wall-Hanging Mahakala Mask (Made In Nepal)
The ferocious Lord Mahakala (one who lords over time itself) is the wrathful form of Avalokiteshvara. Whilst residing in Mount Potala, Lord Avalokiteshvara had shattered into infinite pieces from the prevailing adharma. Restored by Buddha Amitabha, He resolved to fight adharma through the angered form of Mahakala, a much loved and feared deity in Tibetan Buddhism. The mask of Mahakala that you see on this page has been made in Nepal with great skill and shraddha.

The very image sends a chill down the adharmee’s spine. The protruding eyes, shaped like the fish of the deep seas, are hollow where the pupils should be. His portentous brow is like the black cloud of a fatal storm. Right beneath the widely defined nose is a line of bared teeth, all canines that are designed to eat into adharma. From the lower edge of the hollow of the mouth hangs a fierce tongue. There is no escaping the clutches of a deity such as Mahakala.

Lord Mahakala is a picture of destructive power. This power destroys kleshas (afflictions) and antarayas (obstacles of the soul). On His head sits an elaborate crown made of convoluted vines. Note how the composition, from the crown to the tip of the tongue, is perfectly symmetrical. Even the perforations on His skin have been made with a keen attention to detail, which is a hallmark of Nepalese handiwork.

Sita Haran - Abduction of Sita by Ravana

This miniscule depicts the famous scene from Ramayana where Ravana abducted Sita to satisfy his ego of power and superiority. The painter has beautifully portrayed the epic scene keeping in mind all the thoughts and briefings that might have occurred at that time. The large black-white-grey colored bird seen on the right, hit by abundant arrows on head, neck and feet is the Jatayu, a divine bird and the king of vultures. Jatayu is Lord Vishnu’s steed and came to help Sita from Ravana, but was injured by him and died after narrating about Sita’s abduction to Sri Rama and Lakshman.

Dark Yellow background influences dual purpose of reflecting the setting sun of consciousness and its vibrant shade beautifully highlights other colors and figures. Lush green trees and small bushes that grow at the bottom clearly indicate that the Ravana’s rath is flying high in the air, so that no one can reach it. Painter has realistically painted Jatayu’s feathers and tail in multilayers and the ten-headed Ravana and Sita are garbed in a bright color palette. Framed in a contrasting red border, painter has very soothingly used his brushes in painting the interplay of colors.
