>>10646557>>10688075The one on the left is the Goddess Kali
>holy fuck she's terrifying. How is that not evil?Yeah, she is terrifying. That's on purpose. She is incredibly terrifying, so terrifying in fact that demons and evil fear her more than maybe anyone else. Why? The Goddess Kali is the destroyer of EVIL forces, and she is the destructive and most powerful form of Shakti, the Goddess on the right.
Guy at Kali's feet? That's her husband, Mahakala, who calms down Kali's destructive dance (because she'd destroy all of creation in her berserker rage against the evil forces) by either letting her do picture related or by becoming a crying baby to get Kali's motherly instinct to subdue her rage. Smug and comfy guy on the right beneath Shakti? That's Shiva, Shakti's husband, and some say the creator of Yoga and spiritual practices in its entirety. Kali=Shakti, Mahakala=Shiva, more or less. Just different aspects/sides of divine couple.
Kali Yuga ≠ Goddess Kali
