Acala or Achala, also known as Acalanātha or Āryācalanātha, is a wrathful deity and dharmapala prominent in Vajrayana Buddhism and East Asian Buddhism.Originally a minor deity described as a messenger or acolyte of the buddha Vairocana, Acala later rose to prominence as an object of veneration in his own right as a remover of obstacles and destroyer of evil, eventually becoming seen as the wrathful manifestation of either Vairocana, the buddha Akṣobhya, or the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī. In later texts, he is also called Caṇḍaroṣaṇa or Caṇḍamahāroṣaṇa, the names by which he is more commonly known in countries like Nepal and Tibet.In East Asian esoteric Buddhism, Acala is classed among the wisdom kings and is preeminent among the Five Wisdom Kings of the Womb Realm.
