Wearing a fearsome garland of demon's heads, Kali walks on the corpse of a demon. Another form of the goddess Durga and Parvati, she is one of the most powerful deities in the Hindu pantheon, known for her aggressiveness. One of the many manifestations of Maha Devi, the great mother, Kali is part of the life and death cycle of the world. Although Kali is known for her destructive side, she is also a wife and mother; her magical characteristics include rebirth, cycles of life and death, joy, courage, hope, cleansing and change. She is the protector of the oppressed and warrior for the people, depicted in a finely detailed sculpture by Suresh and Devender Garg.
