Goddess Kali is a major Hindu deity associated with time, destruction, and creation, and she is an fierce aspect of the goddess Parvati. She is worshipped as the ultimate reality and the Divine Mother, often depicted with multiple arms, a garland of skulls, and a skirt of severed arms, representing her role in destroying evil and liberating her devotees.
