The outstretched tongue of Kali distinguishes her from all other gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon. There are many goddesses who, like Kali, are naked and associated with blood and death, including Chandi, Chamunda, Bhairavi and Bhagavati, but none stick out their tongue like Kali.

The fierce and intense form of Maa Kali, with her tongue out, signifies her readiness to protect and destroy any forces that threaten the divine order and the balance of the universe.

Some things that anger Goddess Kali are: 1 Cheating other people for your selfish material needs. 2 Developing false pride and having it. Ahankaar.

A number of fanged village goddesses share the iconography of this statue, including the knife, skull bowl, and bulging eyes. She also resembles the Buddhist Ekajata (or Blue) Tara who fiercely defends against evil.

Currently in the Michael Carlos Museum.
