Mahākāla is celebrated as a guardian deity, portrayed in various forms that embody distinct qualities. The two-armed “Black-Cloaked Mahākāla” specifically protects the Karma Kagyu school, draped in the cloak of a māntrika, or “warlock.” His imagery, derived from the Nyingma school's terma, was adopted by the Karma Kagyu during the era of Karma Pakshi, the 2nd Karmapa Lama.
