In this Tibetan thangka, Mahakala is depicted holding a trident and a drum, surrounded by flames. In Tibetan Buddhism, he's considered a protector deity and is invoked for protection from both external and internal enemies. Mahakala is also associated with the destruction of ego, which is seen as the root of suffering in Buddhist teachings.

Many schools of Tibetan Buddhism have specific practices and rituals associated with Mahakala, and he is often depicted in Tibetan art and literature. In addition to his role as a protector deity, Mahakala is also seen as a powerful teacher and source of spiritual guidance for those seeking enlightenment.
