Kali in iconography is shown as a ferocious woman, standing either on a dead body or lord Shiva. She holds a bowl made out of a skull, a trident, a long sickle called Khadaga, and the severed head of her enemy in her four arms. Opposite to the beautiful and adorned form of Parvati or Lakshmi, goddess Kali barely wears any cloth. Her body is covered with a garland of demon heads and in place of a griddle, she wears the arms of the enemy sewn together to form a skirt-like appearance. In this fierce yet artistically striking brass statue, the craftsman has masterfully colored goddess Kali’s tongue, her Khadaga, and the garland in red, as a reminder of the blood, an element closely associated with the imagery of Mahakali. Standing royally on the battlefield, the goddess’s face appears as calm as a sea, telling her worshippers not to fear. Even in her most violent form, the goddess does not forget her role as a mother and a protector. 

Embracing the Divine Feminine: Understanding Kali and Her Significance

Goddess Kali is one of the most powerful and revered deities in Hinduism and is worshiped by many people across the globe especially in the eastern part of India. She is considered to be a ferocious form of Goddess Durga and is regarded as the ultimate manifestation of Shakti. Goddess Kali also manifests as the material nature and is regarded as the mother of all living entities in the material world. Just like a caring mother, she protects the living entities who follow the principles of Dharma from demonic persons who always go against the laws of the Supreme Lord.

Having a dark complexion, open hair, and bearing multiple arms holding different weapons, Goddess Kali is often depicted standing on the chest of Lord Shiva, her consort, as she displays her rage toward the demon Raktabij. This pastime is mentioned in various Puranas of Vedic literature in which Goddess Kali severed the head of the demon who was creating havoc on earth. This shows the protective nature of the Goddess. The Vedic scriptures also mention that Goddess Kali is an obedient devotee of the Supreme Lord Krishna or Vishnu who tests living entities on their determination and devotion toward the Lord.

What does Kali symbolize?

Goddess Kali is the manifestation of material nature. She is like a benevolent mother who protects her children from any kind of mishaps and misfortune. Mother Kali considers all living entities her own children and takes care of them. She reforms the forgetful souls who have turned their faces against the Supreme Lord Krishna. Thus, she symbolizes mercy, compassion, and kindness. Although she has a ferocious form, she is actually carrying out the order of the Supreme Lord by utilizing her power against those who blaspheme the Lord and do not abide by His laws.
