The thangka is finely woven in the centre with the ferocious black figure of the Six-Arm Mahakala of Wisdom shown trampling Ganesh and holding a kapala and a kartrika in his primary hands, as well as further attributes of skull-shaped prayer beads, a trident, a damaru drum and a vajra rope in his subsidiary hands. He is adorned with jewellery, a five-skull crown and a garland of skulls, and wears an elephant hide draped over his shoulders, a billowing blue scarf and a tiger skin around his hips.
