Kali Ma Iconography - Hindu Goddess of Time, Power, and Transformation #152490 (License: Personal Use)

This intricate black-and-white illustration depicts Goddess Kali in her classic form: four-armed, tongue extended, crowned with skulls, draped in serpents and a girdle of severed arms, standing on the supine body of Shiva. She holds a khadga (sword) in one hand and a decapitated head in another, symbolizing the annihilation of ignorance and ego; her other hands offer fearlessness (abhaya mudra) and blessing (varada mudra). The lotus beneath signifies purity and spiritual awakening amid chaos.
