This statue displays Kali is full fierce form, with 4 arms holding a saber, severed head, trident and skull cup with fire and a garland of skulls around her neck. Kali’s tongue she used to lick up the demon Raktabija’s blood hangs from her mouth. She has long, flowing black hair. She is standing on the corpse of her husband, Shiva, in order to bring him back to life. The story of the pose of this sculpture is as follows:
Shiva Calms Kali: After Kali killed the demon Raktabija she became Intoxicated with Raktabija’s blood, Kali ran amuck across the three worlds, destroying everything and everyone in her sight.
To restrain her, Shiva took the form of a corpse and blocked her path. As the goddess, blinded by bloodlust, tripped on his lifeless body, she was jolted out of her frenzy. She wondered if she had killed her own husband. She placed a foot on Shiva’s chest and brought him back to life.
Shiva then took the form of a little child and began to cry, stirring maternal love in the heart of Kali. This forced her to shed her fierce form; Kali became Gauri, the radiant mother, bestower of life.
