ALOK RANJAN ART
Mahakali / Maa Kali is often portrayed as blue colour Indian art,
Her most commno four armed imbodiment image show each hand carrying variously a sword, a trishul (trident), a severed head and a bowl or skull-cup
Kapala catching the blood of the severed head. Her eyes are described as red with intoxication and in absolute rage,
Her hair is shown disheveled, small fangs sometimes protrude out of Her mouth and Her tongue is lolling.
She has a garland consisting of the heads of demons she has slaughtered, variously enumerated at an auspicious number in hinduism and the number of countable beads on a Japa Mala for repetition of Mantras,
Which represents the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, Devanagari, and wears a skirt made of demon arms.
Her ten headed dasamukhi image is known as dasa mahavidya mahakali,
and in this form She is said to represent the ten mahavidyas or "Great Wisdom (Goddesse)s".
She is depicted in this form as having ten heads, ten arms, and ten legs but otherwise usually conforms to the four armed icon in other respects. Each of her ten hands is carrying an implement which varies in different accounts, but each of these represent the power of one of the Devas or Hindu Gods and are often the identifying weapon or ritual item of a given Deva.
The implication is that Mahakali subsumes and is responsible for the powers that these deities possess and this is in line with the interpretation that Mahakali is identical with Brahman.
While not displaying ten heads, an "ekamukhi" or one headed image may be displayed with ten arms, signifying the same concept: the powers of the various Gods come only through Her grace.
Kali is the Hindu goddess (or Devi) of death time, and doomsday and is often associated with sexuality and violence but is also considered a strong mother-figure symbolic of motherly-love.
