Introduction To Mahakala Vygghra Vahana:

Mahakala Vygghra Vahana is a fierce guardian deity in Tibetan Buddhism, depicted riding a mighty tiger that embodies untamed strength and fearless energy. As the wrathful protector of the Dharma, he manifests compassion in a destructive form, clearing away ignorance and obstacles that hinder enlightenment. Often regarded as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara or Chakrasamvara, Mahakala transforms the five kleshas into the five wisdoms, symbolized by his crown of skulls. His tiger mount amplifies his role as a fearless defender, reminding practitioners that ultimate wisdom sometimes appears in ferocious forms to safeguard the path to liberation.

How do you take care of your statues?•    Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
•    Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
•    Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by the Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet. 
•    Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
