Who Mahakal is
Mahakal is Shiva as the lord of time and death, worshipped at Ujjain as one of the twelve jyotirlingas.
The 16 Mukhi is given to Mahakal in the sources our sheet follows, and to other forms elsewhere, so it is marked as varying. It is worn for protection and freedom from fear, and it is rare and priced on request.
