Maha Kali also Known as Dakshina Kālikā (Sanskrit: कालिका) is often portrayed as young and beautiful, standing on the supine, ash-besmeared body of Siva, who looks up at Her adoringly.
Siva is absolute consciousness, ever blissful while Maha Kali Is Consciousness In Motion—projecting, sustaining, and withdrawing the universe. Consciousness (Chit) and Its powers are One and the same reality.
