清 銅鎏金六臂瑪哈嘎拉站像 The six-armed deity depicted standing, the principal arms raised before the chest and the body, with the secondary and tertiary arms radiating from behind as if holding various attributes, the bare upper body adorned with beaded jewellery and a billowing celestial scarf, wearing a dhoti gathered just below the bulging belly, the ferocious face detailed with three eyes and an opened mouth showing bared fangs, crowned by a five-skull diadem before flaming red hair, standing above two elephant-headed prostrate figures on oval lotus base. Qing Dynasty period. 六臂瑪哈嘎拉原是印度教之魔神，觀音入其神識，故成佛教之護法、觀音之化身。平常隨侍觀音，具有息、增、懷、誅四種事業法。據觀音菩薩所發深宏誓願，修持六臂瑪哈嘎拉能降服和救度末法時期中逐漸惡化之眾生；能庇護眾生，脫離中陰身之苦；能解除眾生生活的艱困及貧窮，圓滿眾生一切善願。此尊為站姿，頭戴五葉冠，三目圓鼓，白牙齜露。上身飾聯珠式瓔珞，下身著裙，裙子上又飾網狀聯珠瓔珞，另有手釧，臂釧和足釧裝飾。下為雙層束腰蓮花座。整軀造型完整，做工精細，堪稱同類造像中的精品。瑪哈嘎拉是佛法中最重要之智慧護法，宜秘密供養、修持，則其加持迅速，日夜不斷。
