In Hindu mythology, the fierce goddess of destruction and liberation, often depicted with dark skin and multiple arms.
From Sanskrit 'Kālī,' derived from 'kāla' meaning black or time. The name reflects her role as the destroyer of time and ignorance in Hindu cosmology.
Kali is often misunderstood in Western culture as purely evil, but in Hindu philosophy she's actually liberating—her fierce dance destroys ego and illusion, and her 'terrible' appearance represents the terrifying truth that all things must end, which is necessary for renewal.
