ABOUT PEDDAMMA:

The word "Peddamma", which is "Pedda" and "Amma", literally means "Mother of Mothers" or "The Supreme Mother". She is one of the 11 forms of Village Deities and The Supreme most.

Mahakali, literally translated as Great Kali, is a Hindu Goddess, considered to be the consort of Shiva the God of consciousness, and as the basis of Reality (see below) and existence. Mahakali in Sanskrit is etymologically the feminized variant of Mahakala or Great Time (which is interpreted also as Death), an epithet of the God Shiva in Hinduism. Mahakali is greater form of the Goddess beyond time, Kali, who is the force of the anger of Durga and is an aspect of the Adi parashakti.
