His name, meaning "The Black Cloak Mahakala," signifies his role as a fierce Dharma protector, shielding practitioners from obstacles and guiding them on the path of enlightenment. Depicted in a wrathful form, Bernagchen is black in color, with one face, three glaring eyes, and a wide, red mouth baring white fangs. His yellow beard, eyebrows, and upward-flowing hair resemble blazing flames. In his right hand, he wields a curved flaying knife with a vajra handle, while his left holds a blood-filled skull cup close to his heart.
