The limits a mother can transcend to protect her children from the evils of the world are universally known. Every mother or Maa has the divine innate ability to trample any trouble that befalls her child. In Hindu-Tantra tradition, this fierce protectiveness of a mother is eulogized in the awe-inspiring form of Maa Kali. The great mother goddess takes her vicious warring roopa as the answer to the cries of the innumerable souls, calling out to their mother for protecting them from the fires of Kaliyuga.
Hearing the heart-wrenching evocations of her children in need, the great Devi is overcome by motherly care that reaches its absolute zenith as an unobstructed rage toward the cause of those cries. The ferocious form of Mahakali, seen in this spectacular brass Kali statue, is nothing but the extremity of motherly compassion, a fact that only the true devotee of the goddess understands.
In this monumentally detailed brass goddess Kali statue, Maa Kali stands on an ornate ovular platform, decorated with lotus petal patterns. On the steady body of Lord Shiva, who appears to have reached the depths of divine consciousness, Maa Kali takes a dynamic stance, with one leg on Shiva and the other positioned on the platform.
Discernible musculature on the legs of the goddess gives this brass Devi Kali murti a powerful appearance, which is enhanced by her Dashabhuja (ten-armed) form, with each of her hands carrying a weapon of destruction. An imposing crown adorned with the crescent moon beautifies Devi Kali’s visage, which has huge eyes, a third eye, eyebrows curved in anger, and a lolling tongue adding to the ferociousness of Mahakali.
Multiple ornaments embellish the striking representation of the great goddess, whose sway over her enemies is underlined by the garland of skulls and girdle of severed heads wrapped around her waist. Piercing her enemies with a rage-filled gaze, Mahakali in this ethereal form is the exaltation of a mother’s love that willingly goes beyond societal rules and norms, all because of her warmth toward her child.
