Goddess Kali is the terrifying and angry form of Mother
Goddess Shakti. She is pitch black in color and there is a symbolism attached
to the color. She destroys and devours all that is associated with Adharma
(inauspicious or evil).
As Kali, she is also the personification of the all-devouring
time.
Her dark color and form is symbolic of future – future which
is beyond the knowledge of ordinary living beings.
After sucking in all ignorance, she liberates her children
from the cycle of reincarnation.
Mother Goddess Kali is black, girdled with severed arms, with
a garland of severed heads, having a lolling tongue and eyes rolling with
intoxication.
