Kali —kula is aligned to Shakta mode of worship. Inwhen plague hit the city vidga Hyderabad, people thought the epidemic was a result of the Goddess’ anger, and initiated the Bonalu festival to pacify Her. Mhaa read the next part that speaks about Bhuvanesvari, Chinnamasta and Bhairavi.

Kali is portrayed mostly in two forms: She is of deep blue color; her hair is braided with serpents, she is the Ugratara.
