Kali is an intense Hindu goddess of transformation, destruction, and freedom. Despite being primarily linked to Tibetan Buddhism, there are thangka artworks created to represent Hindu figures such as Kali.
Kali Thangkas depicts the goddess Kali characterized by her blue skin, skull garland, and skirt of severed arms. She is seen standing or dancing on the body of her consort, Lord Shiva, with multiple arms carrying weapons that represent her power to eliminate ignorance and ego. The protruding tongue symbolizes her power to surpass boundaries.
Kali thangkas act as visual tools for spiritual practice, meditation and devotion, enabling practitioners to access the liberating and transformative nature of the goddess. Though they are not as commonly found as conventional Buddhist thangkas, you can still come across Kali thangkas in art galleries, online stores, or through retailers that specialize in Hindu religious artwork.
