The Hindu goddess of death of the ego is KAALI, worshipped particularly in eastern India and southern India. She is the Divine Mother and the ferocious powerful Avtar of the uNIVERSE, The SHAKTI. She might look scary wearing the garlands of the skull around her neck and her tongue lurking around, but she is a nurturing mother too who takes on the ferocious avatar for protecting her children against negative energies.
She is just a mother in her protective and angry form.
