🚩 Once all Sages and Gods assembled in Kailash, the abode of Bhagwan Shiva. It resulted in the tilting of the earth towards one direction.
🚩 Bhagwan Shiva asked Sage Agastya to move towards the South to balance the tilt. Sage Agastya employed a demon named Ettumba to carry the two hills on his shoulders to be placed in the South.
🚩 The demon carried the hills down south and rested in a place. When he tried to lift one of the hills, it didn't budge and he found a young man standing at the top of the hill not allowing it to be moved.

🌺 First of all, Sati took the form of Kali. Her form was fearful, Her hair untied and loose, Her body the color of a dark cloud. She had deep-set eyes and eyebrows shaped like curved swords.
🌺She stood on a corpse, wore a garland of skulls, and earrings made from the bones of corpses. She had four hands – on one hand, she had the head of a skull, and the other a curved sword with blood dripping on it.
🌺She had mudras on Her other two hands – one giving freedom from fear and the other giving blessings. She roared and the ten directions were filled with that ferocious sound.
