Goddess Kali is a prominent deity in Hinduism, known as the goddess of destruction and transformation. She is often depicted with dark skin, a fierce expression, and multiple arms, each holding symbolic items like a sword and a severed head. Kali represents the power of time and change, embodying the cycle of creation and destruction. Worshipped primarily in Shaktism, a tradition that focuses on the divine feminine, Kali is revered for her ability to remove negativity and ignorance. Her festivals, such as Kali Puja, celebrate her strength and compassion, emphasizing the importance of overcoming fear and embracing change in life.
