Kali
19. Jahrhundert
In Kali, the bloodthirsty "black one", the goddess Devi shows herself in her most terrifying manifestation. Her appearance, standing on the god Shiva, points to her superior cosmic power, with which she absorbs all the gods into herself and transcends them. Only through her as an active principle can Shiva's transcendental power become effective.
