In contrast to the various other forms of Mahakala, the Shadbhuja Sita ("The White Lord with Six Hands") form is a wealth deity - the skull cup that would have rested in his primary left hand would have contained jewels, rather than grisly remains. Furthermore, White Mahakala can be distinguished iconographically by his diadem, made of jewels rather than skulls, and the elephant-headed deities on which he stands.
