Wrathful Offerings (Tibetan: kang dze) to the Six-handed Great Black One (Tib.: gon po chag drug pa. Sanskrit: Shadbhuja Mahakala). Displaying all the wrathful hand objects, vestments, attire and offerings that are special to Mahakala.
Located at the upper middle above a pink lotus, orange sun disc and white prone figure of Ganesh are the hand objects, garments and ornaments of the Six-handed Mahakala. In the middle is the curved knife and skullcup that are held in the first pair of hands. Surrounding that is the garland of fresh human heads, bracelets, crown of five dry skulls with red ribbons and earrings. As a backdrop are the elephant hide and long dark scarf. At the left are the remaining hand objects, a garland of skulls and a damaru hand drum; on the right a trident and lasso.
In a black bowl at the left side are the Eight Auspicious Symbols. In a bowl on the right are the Seven Jewels of Royalty. Along the top, in place of an ornate latticework and looped garlands, are hanging human skins, dangling hearts and white skulls with loops of red intestine from mouth to mouth. Below that is a flock of 13 black birds swooping and soaring with gore hanging from their beaks.
At the sides of the lotus seat are two skullcups of wrathful offerings. Below is a large pink triangular torma (stylized food) offering. Various horn instruments and weapons; spears, lances, swords, shields and the like stand at the sides, upright, leaning against a red railing. Below that is an assortment of animal pelts and hides. At the lower center is a representation of the celestial palace and below that the garb of a warrior surrounded by various instruments used to perform the worship of the wrathful protector. Surrounding all of that are wild animals, black horses, black yaks and black wolves, some as offerings and others as messengers and attendants to the protector.
These types of paintings would commonly hang in the smaller Protector temples of monasteries and represent an offering of all the symbols of a specific deity. |
