KALI MA OF CULCUTTA
The Prime seat of Sakteism

The very moment Kousika saw the huge army of Chanda Mundas, she turned red in face, as one Siva came out of her body and instantly the colour of her whole person turned dark. It is from that terrible form was born Kali-the dark-hued goddess and also called Kalikaa powerful goddess, who drank away the blood falling from the body of Raktabhoja by stretching her tongue and covering the whole battle-field; for he was blessed to be born in thousand forms from a drop of blood spilled by the enemy. The danava brothers who entered the battle ground, after the death of Chanda Mundas and party were put to death in the end by that frightful Kali in her fiercest form. This awful aspect of Mother Parvathi after danava samhara took her seat in the Himalayan region. This form of Kali strikes terror and destroys bonds and hence she is called the liberator.
