Kali's earliest appearance is when she emerged from Lord Shiva.

She is the ultimate manifestation


of Shakti and the mother of all living beings. She destroys the evil in order to protect the innocent.
Over time, Kali has been worshipped by devotional movements and tantric sects variously as the
Divine Mother, Mother of the Universe, Adi Shakti, or Parvati.[1][2][3] Shakta Hindu and Tantric sects
additionally worship her as the ultimate reality or Brahman.[3] She is also seen as the divine protector
and the one who bestows moksha or liberation.[1] Kali is portrayed standing on Lord Shiva, with her
right foot forward. Her skin color appears to be dark, and she is wearing a garland of 50 skulls,
denoting 50 letters of sanskrit alphabet. She is four armed, holding a Kharag, in her top left arm,
denoting strength. In her lower hand, she is holding a severed head denoting ego, which Kali hates.
Both of her right hands are in abhay mudra, denoting that she is a kind mother, who protects and
nurtures her children. She is completely naked, denoting that she is above this material world.
