Goddess Kali is a symbol of empowerment, destruction, time, and change in Hindu mythology. Often misunderstood due to her fearsome appearance, she represents the transformative power of destruction, clearing the old and making way for the new. This is a meticulously rendered 3D model of the fierce and revered Hindu Goddess, Kali. Radiating both power and divine grace, she is depicted with four arms, each symbolizing different aspects of her nature. Two of her hands gesture in poses of blessing and protection, reflecting her benevolent aspect, while the other two hands unmistakably exhibit her ferocity, holding a scythe and a severed head. A significant detail is Kali stepping over her husband, Lord Shiva. This portrayal is rooted in Hindu mythology, symbolizing the narrative where she became so engrossed in her destructive dance that it took Shiva lying down in her path to snap her out of it, realizing she was stepping on her own husband. Her attire further accentuates her fearsome nature. She dons a skirt made entirely of severed human hands and a necklace comprised of human heads. These symbolize the ego and the human impediments, suggesting Kali's power over them. Her face, with her tongue protruding, is one of the most iconic representations of Kali, embodying both her unbridled energy and her embarrassment upon stepping on Shiva.
