The Hindu Goddess Mother Kali statue image.There came a time when there was so much evil that mother durga couldn't take it any more that she grew angry and came to earth as Mother Kali.Kali maa destroyed all the demons and had to drink their blood for our sake for if it fell on the floor the demons would multiply. In her rage she, herself was causing destruction being such a powerful goddess.Toxicated from the demons blood she began to stamp her foot on the ground .She was beseeched by all the Hindu Gods to stop,but she was consumed.Her power is so great that one final stomp would have caused an earthquake powerful enough to destroy the world. But Lord Shiva himself appeared under her and seeing his divine face she halted.When Kali eventually stepped upon her husband she realized her mistake and bit her tongue in shame...So Kali is seen with protruding tongue and four arms and hands.The two left hands are holding a sword and a severed head. This signifies that in the end she will kill everyone -- no one can avoid her as mortal death.In the right hand ,Shiva's trident and the cup to catch the demon's blood.She wears a garland of 15 skulls.Kali is also regarded as the mother of language, and all mantras,and is a consort of Shiva....Kali is associated with many devis (goddesses) - Durga, Badrakali, Bhavani, Sati, Rudrani, Parvati, Chinnamasta, Chamunda, Kamakshi or kamakhya, Uma, Meenakshi, Himavati, Kumari and Tara. These names, if repeated, are believed to give special power to the worshipper.......
