Kali

In Shaktism, Kali, a Hindu goddess, is revered as the embodiment of all power, time, destruction, and change. She is viewed in this religion as a fierce manifestation of Mahadevi, the greatest power or ultimate reality. As a result, Kali is portrayed as a ferocious and irate goddess holding a bowl, a knife, and a garland of skulls in her hands. She had to slash Raktabeech during the conflict, fill her bowl with his blood, and drink it. She persisted in doing so, turning violent and destructive as a result.

The moment Kali erupted from Shiva is when she first made an appearance. She is revered as the mother of all living things and the pinnacle of Shakti's manifestations. Shiva, her husband, sat down under her feet to soothe her and shield the universe from her rage. She realized her mistake and bit her tongue out of embarrassment. As a result, Kali is depicted biting her tongue, and Lord Shiva is seen resting at her feet in her iconography. Over time, devotional groups and Tantric sects have referred to Kali in many ways as the Divine Mother, Mother of the Universe, and the Principal Energy Adi Shakti. She is also revered by Tantric and Shakta Hindu sects as the ultimate reality or Brahman. Additionally, she is revered as the celestial guardian and the one who grants moksha, or liberation.
