Mahakali is a powerful goddess in Hinduism, often associated with time, change, and destruction. She is considered a fierce form of Goddess Durga and is depicted as dark-skinned, symbolizing the infinite and the cosmos. Mahakali is revered for her ability to remove negativity and ignorance, helping devotees achieve spiritual growth. Worship of Mahakali is prominent in various regions of India, particularly in West Bengal and Assam. Festivals like Kali Puja celebrate her, where devotees offer prayers, flowers, and food. Her imagery often includes a garland of skulls and a tongue sticking out, representing the destruction of evil and the cycle of life and death.
