Jamandaga

(or Macha Alla) was one of the supreme deities of the Kalmucks. He is represented somewhat like Herli-Kan, but differs from that deity in possessing six arms. His color is blue, and the palms of the hands and the soles of his feet are red. Flowers and skulls are his crown, and snakes his armlets and anklets, while a snake hangs over both shoulders. His girdle is a string of human heads. In one hand he holds a sceptre, in another two cords. In two he holds drinking-vessels, and in the fifth and sixth the hide of an animal. This frightful god crushes with his feet a form which has human arms and feet, but a head resembling an elephant's. This idol is also surrounded by good and evil demons.
