Long ago, terrible demons were causing great suffering in the world. They hurt good people and seemed impossible to stop. The demons were so powerful that they made even the gods tremble.
One demon named Raktabija had a special power. Every time a drop of his blood fell to the ground, another demon would rise up to take his place!

The gods knew they needed a powerful protector. They combined their energy to create Goddess Kali. She emerged with fierce power - dark as the night, with eyes blazing like fire, wearing a garland of skulls, and holding powerful weapons.
"I will stop these demons and protect the good," she declared with a thunderous voice that shook the heavens.

Kali fought the demons with incredible strength. When Raktabija's blood began to fall, creating more demons, Kali did something surprising. She opened her huge mouth and caught every single drop of blood before it could touch the ground! Raktabija was defeated.
Wearing her garland of skulls and with her tongue out, Kali looked terrifying. But her purpose was to protect the good and destroy evil. When the battle ended, she had saved the world from terrible suffering.
