The Shadbhuja (six handed) form of Mahakala is a wrathful emanation of Avalokiteśvara and belongs to the Kriya classification of Tantra, which is the lowest class tantra that are taught for practitioners of lower ability, usually including the performance of external ritual activities for protection and purification purposes. This form was popularised in Tibet in the 11th century.
