Kali Goddess - Iconography, Symbolism, and Significance in Hinduism #152511 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration portrays Kali, the fierce manifestation of Shakti, with four visible arms wielding a sword, a severed head, a bowl, and gesturing in blessing or protection. Her tongue protrudes, her long hair flows wildly, and she wears a skirt of severed arms and a garland of skulls, signifying her victory over ego and time. The image captures her dual nature-as both terrifying destroyer and compassionate mother.
