Kali Mata is one of the most powerful and revered deities in Hinduism, particularly in the Shakta tradition. She represents both creation and destruction, embodying the dynamic forces of the universe. Kali is often depicted as a fierce and intimidating goddess, with dark skin, a garland of skulls, and a tongue sticking out, signifying the transcendence of ego and the destruction of the material world. Her appearance reflects the paradoxical nature of existence—she destroys to renew and purify.
Kali is primarily worshiped as the goddess of time, change, power, and liberation. While she can appear violent and terrifying, her devotees believe that she is a mother figure who protects and frees them from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). In many depictions, she is shown standing on the body of Lord Shiva, symbolizing the balance between the destructive and constructive aspects of the universe.
