Goddess Kali (also known as Shakti) is the most powerful and destructive of all forms. She has a dark complexion with red eyes and four arms. She carries a sword, khadaga (sword), in one hand. On the other hand, she carries the decapitated head of a demon. The two remaining hands are in the blessing of Her devotees. Also, she wears a garland of heads of demons that she has killed to make this Goddess's form even more divine and fearful. You will also be able to see the Goddess's fierce look. The most important thing is that Goddess Kali is shown as stepping on Lord Shiva's chest. This episode of Goddess Kali crossing over with Lord Shiva has a fascinating backstory. Want to know the reason Kali stepped onto Shiva's chest. Next, let's read: Story of Rakta Betj. Rakta Beej was once a powerful demon. He acquired a boon so that he could replicate himself as soon as his blood touches the Earth. The Gods were unable to bring the demon under control due to the boon. Shakti (in the form of Goddess Durga) was summoned in order to kill the demon. The Goddess charged at her demon, fully equipped with all of her weapons. The demon continued to multiply even though She injured him with Her blade and his blood fell upon Earth. Rakta Beej was able to form huge armies thanks to the large amounts of blood that fell onto Earth. In anger, the Devi adopted the fierce Kali form. Then, she went on to defeat the demon with her sword in Her hand. She would kill each demon, and then she would drink his blood. Soon, the whole army was gone and she left only the Rakta Bugej. Then she killed him and drank all the blood until he became lifeless. This is when the legend says that the Goddess went mad from blood lust. She danced the dance to destruction and then forgot that she had already killed a demon. After killing the demon, she kept going. The Gods realized this and reached out to Lord Shiva for help. Only Shiva could stop Kali at this moment. Lord Shiva then went and lay down amongst the corpses of Goddess Dancing. Kali accidentally stepped over Shiva. Soon she realized her error. Her tongue immediately exploded with embarrassment. Then, she calmed her down. She was embarrassed at the inability of Her bloodlust to recognize Her husband. She was able to return to Her original form and stop the destruction. Kali's feet holding Shiva symbolizes Nature's supremacy over man. It is evident that Shiva, a powerful force such as Lord Shiva, can't exist without Kali/Shakti. Kali can be seen as stepping on Shiva’s chest.

Lord Hanuman will repay his guru Lord Surya after he has finished his education. Hanuman insists on asking for his Guru Dakshina. Surya advises Hanuman not to repay him any money. Lord Surya talks to Hanuman about Shani, who is a troublemaker and never listens. Hanuman asks him to help him.
Hanuman then enters Shani Lok asking Shani to please return to her father. Shani, being too arrogant, can't believe Hanuman was able to effortlessly enter his Shani Lok. So, he decides he will teach Hanuman something. He then climbs on Lord Hanuman’s shoulder and tries to influence him. He is surprised to find that it does not affect Lord Hauman.
Lord Hanuman actually increases his size to the point that Shani is caught between Hanuman's shoulder, the ceiling, and Hanuman. Shani demands that Hanuman leave him, promising that he would not trouble Hanuman devotees and that he would only moderate all his effects before Hanuman devotees. Hanuman realized this and released Shani dev.
Next, Shani Dev asks Lord Hanuman for his tail in order to apply and escape the pain. Since then, it has been common to offer oil/black til to Shani Devta. It soothes his suffering and also makes him beneficent towards Ram-and Hanuman devotees. It is why you can see huge lines at Hanuman temples every Saturday for Shani and Hanuman. Shani's dosh doesn't affect those who give till and a tail (oil) offering to Shani.

The hand gestures called mudras in yoga are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breath exercises). They are typically performed while one is in Padmasana Sukhasana or Vajrasana. Mudras are used to stimulate the different parts of your body that deal with breathing. They also affect your mood and energy flow. Hand gestures and positions that are specific to a particular hand act as "locks" and guide energy flows and reflexes towards the brain. As each hand corresponds to one part of the mind, or body, it can be controlled by curling, crossing, stretching, and touching the fingers.
Spiritually, specific mudras are an outward manifestation of one's inner desires. There are many mudras. However, it is believed that meditation on a particular mudra will bring forth certain thoughts, energies, or devotions. Mudras help us visualize what we want and need. Mudras allow you to physically connect with an intangible wish by placing your hands in a mudra.
Vibhishana was also known as Bibhishan and was the younger brother to Ravana, who is the Demon King from Lanka in the epic Ramayana. Vibhishana, though an asura, did not display the typical behavior of his clan. In fact, Vibhishana was a noble character, great devotee, and seventh avatar of Sri Maha Vishnu's Lord Rama.
