Stone figure of God Mahakala standing on a victim framed by a fire aureole on a lotus base. In his arms he is holding a danda stick, a ceremonial knife called karttrika and in his left hand a skullcup.

He also has a third eye which identifies him as god and not as demon despite his gruesome appearance.
