White Mahakala (Skt. Sita Mahakala) is a revered wrathful emanation of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion. Unlike other Mahakala forms, he appears white, symbolizing his power to overcome ignorance and purify negative karma. He is particularly associated with wealth and prosperity, providing protection against financial hardship and obstacles to one's livelihood. Depicted with six arms, holding various implements, and often trampling two Ganeshas, he is revered in the Sakya, Gelug, and Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism as a powerful protector of the dharma and a dispeller of poverty, aiding practitioners in both material and spiritual well-being. His practice is believed to grant both mundane and supramundane accomplishments.
