This particular form of Mahakala, with one face, two hands, holding a curved knife, a skull-cup at his heart and a khatvanga in the hollow of his left elbow, his two legs standing on a corpse, is of outstanding workmanship.



It is the guardian of Swayambhunath, so there’s a clear line of sight between the Mahakala image and Swayambhunath stupa. It is said that should anybody build anything between Swayambhunath stupa and the protector there would be disastrous consequences. People did build things and this did indeed prove disastrous. But when the army wanted to build a huge encampment, the statue was given a pair of dark glasses and a small image of the Swayambhunath stupa was stuck over each of its eyes. Since then a lot of building has taken place.



Another legend associated with this image is that it just fell from the sky one day. The great Kagyu master Shri Heruka spent a number of years in this temple. Many years ago a Nepalese master who also stayed at the temple had a vision in which he saw Shri Heruka and this image dancing in the sky.



This particular image was attacked once in 1349 by the army of the Sham Uddin who tried to invade Nepal. They smashed away at it with mallets and hammers and so on, but they couldn’t break it at all. However, one particularly ferocious soldier managed to chip one of the toes, and it is said that the whole invading army died that night of some epidemic, and their faith never spread in Nepal. So now we can also see the feet are covered in silver. According to other accounts, they are responsible for the minor damage we see on the corpse throne and the image's face.
