She presides over the time before the creation of the universe. Kali is represented as the consort of Lord Shiva. Her abode is cremation grounds and her weapons are Kripana (Scimitar) and Trishul (Trident). 

Kali Origin – As per Devi Mahatmya, Devi Kali was appeared out of Goddess Durga to defeat the demon Raktabija. Raktabija, which means blood-seed, was able to clone himself out of the dripped blood on the ground. When during battle, Raktabija became impossible to kill Goddess Kali appeared to swallow the blood of Raktabija before it dripped to the ground.

In one of the lower hands she holds a bowel in which she collects blood which drips from demon’s severed head in upper hand. The second lower hand is shown in Varada Mudra. She is depicted nude and wears a garland which is made of human skulls or severed heads. In lower body she wears girdle made of severed human arms.
