Mahakala is considered one of the most important Dharmapalas, protectors of Dharma, also known as Universal Laws. Decorating his crown, are the five skulls, symbols of the transmutation of the five ‘kleshas’, negative emotions, to the five wisdoms. His face is meant to frighten bad spirits away and keep away negative energies, thoughts and actions. Mahakala is also worshiped by Hindus as the ultimate manifestation of Lord Shiva and his consort MahaKali, representing the enormous power of Brahman.
