Bhadrakali

Bhadrakali (Sanskrit: भद्रकाली, romanized: Bhadrakālī, lit.'auspicious Kali') is a fierce form of the Hindu supreme goddess Adi Shakti. She is worshipped predominantly in the South Indian state of Kerala and Nashik.

In Vaishnavism, Bhadrakali is among the many epithets of Yogamaya, the sister of the preserver deity, Vishnu and an incarnation of the supreme goddess (Para Brahman) Durga. In some Shaiva traditions, she is the consort and the power (Shakti) of Virabhadra, a form of lord Shiva.
