Maa Kali (“the dark mother”) is also called Kalika, is a major Hindu goddess associated with time, change, creation, power, destruction and death in Shaktism. Kali is the first of the ten Mahavidyas in the Hindu tantric tradition who originated as a tantric and non-vedic goddess. Her roots are most probably connected to the Pre-Aryan period and worshipped throughout South Asia but particularly in Nepal, South India, Assam and Bengal. In Bengal she is the benevolent mother who protects her devotees and children from mishaps and misfortunes. Those who worshipped Kali are said to be able to overcome death itself.

The most common form shows her with four arms and hands, showing aspects of both creation and destruction. The two right hands are often held out in blessings, one in a mudra saying ‘fear not’(abhaya mudra), the other conferring boons. Her left hands hold a severed head and blood covered sword. The sword severs the bondage of ignorance and ego (tamas), represented by the severed head. One interception of Kali’s tongue symbolizes the rajasic nature being conquered by the white (symbolizing Sattvic) nature of the teeth. Her blackness represents that she is Nirguna, beyond all qualities of nature and transcendent. The most widespread interception of Kali’s extended tongue involved her embarrassment over the sudden realization that she has stepped on her husband Shiva’s chest. When she was out of control on the battle field after destroying many demons and in her rampage as Kali would not stop until she destroyed the entire universe then Lord Shiva laydown on the battle field. Suddenly when she saw her consort under her foot, Kali realized that she had gone too far. Filled with grief for the damage she had done her blood-red tongue hung from her mouth, calming her down. In some interception of the story, Shiva was attempting to receive Kali’s grace by receiving her foot on his chest.
