Maa Kali is a prominent goddess in Hinduism, known as the goddess of destruction and transformation. She is often depicted with a fierce appearance, dark skin, and multiple arms, symbolizing her power to combat evil and ignorance. Kali is associated with the Shakti or divine feminine energy, representing the force of creation and destruction in the universe. Worshipped primarily in Bengal and other parts of India, Maa Kali is celebrated during festivals like Kali Puja and Durga Puja. Devotees seek her blessings for strength, protection, and liberation from negativity. Her fierce nature embodies the idea that destruction is necessary for renewal and growth.
