Kali Ma Hindu Goddess Artwork - Symbolism, Iconography & Spiritual Meaning #36248 (License: Personal Use)

This intricate black-and-white illustration portrays Goddess Kali in her classic form: four-armed, tongue extended, wearing a garland of skulls and a serpent belt, standing atop the reclining figure of Shiva. She holds a curved sword in one hand and a freshly severed head in another, while her other hands gesture protection (abhaya mudra) and blessing (varada mudra). The lotus base symbolizes purity and cosmic creation emerging from destruction.
