Goddess Kali is another form of Goddess Durga or Parvati. She is goddess of destruction. She has eight hands and great power and energy (Shakti). Kali rides on a corpse of a demon. In her terrifying aspects, the most commonly worshipped forms are Durga & Kali. These are forms taken by the Goddess in an effort to destroy some form of evil & hence even these forms need not invoke fear, for she is the mother who has risen in anger only to destroy evil forces and provide eternal happiness and peace to her children. As Kali (the Goddess of Time) she presents the most terrifying aspect, usually seen in a burial or war field. She is standing on a dead body with her hair let loose and disheveled. She wears a garland of skulls.
