About

Kali has four arms and hands. Two of these hands hold a sword and a severed head, signifying that in the end she will kill everyone. The other two hands are in blessing, signifying that those who worship her will be saved. Kali wears a garland of 51 heads. She is often depicted naked with Maya as her only covering. Kali is often accompanied by serpents and a jackal while standing on a seemingly dead Shiva, usually right foot forward to symbolize the more popular right-handed path.
