South Indian Maha Kali Goddess celebration

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Quoted directly from Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali):

Kali (/ˈkɑːliː/; Sanskrit: काली, IAST: Kālī), also referred to as Mahakali, Bhadrakali, and Kalika (Sanskrit: कालिका), is a Hindu goddess who is considered to be the goddess of ultimate power, time, destruction and change in Shaktism.[1] In this tradition, she is considered as a ferocious form of goddess Mahadevi, the supreme of all powers, or the ultimate reality. She is the first of the ten Mahavidyas in the Hindu tantric tradition.[2]

The picture was taken by me during a grand celebration at my remote village Chinapulivarru in Andhra Pradesh State, India.
