Interesting story behind recognition
Once upon a time, the atrocities of the demons like Chand-Munda and Shumbha-Nishumbha etc. had increased a lot. He started fighting with the gods to take control over Indraloka. All the gods reached Lord Shiva and prayed to him to protect the demons. Lord Shiva manifested Amba, a form of Mother Parvati, who is worshiped as Jagajjanani. To kill these demons, Mother Amba took the terrible form of Maa Kali and killed all the demons who oppressed her. Then a very powerful demon Raktabeej arrived there.

Maa Kali took out her tongue and struck Raktabeej with her sword and before his blood fell on the ground, she started drinking it. When the blood of Raktabeej does not fall on the ground, then from where will a new monster be born? In this way Raktabeej was killed but the anger of Mother Kali did not subside. They were in the trend of destruction. It seemed that Maa Kali would now destroy the entire creation. When Lord Shiva realized this, he quietly lay down in the path of Mother Kali.
Maa Kali is a part of Lord Shiva, that is why she is also called Ardhanarishvara. He is also called Anant Shiva because no one can fathom him. Mother Kali was shocked as soon as she fell on Anant Shiva's chest because she saw that this is the real Lord Shiva. His anger ended immediately and he blessed all the living beings of the world, that is why on the day of Kartik Amavasya, the law of worship was duly worshiped by all the sorrowful, always protective, Sukhadatri Jaganmata Kali.

These are the ten Mahavidyas
The place of Mother Kali comes under the worship of ten Mahavidyas. These ten goddesses of Mahavidya are- Mother Kali, Mother Tara, Mother Bhuvaneshwari, Mother Baglamukhi, Mother Kamala, Mother Chhinmasta, Mother Tripura Sundari, Mother Tripura Sundari, Mother Bhairavi, Mother Matangi and Mother Dhumavati. There are many people in West Bengal who practice the ten Mahavidyas. Their specialty is that they do not discuss their spiritual practice. Yes, two sadhaks discuss among themselves, but such sadhaks do not allow any other person to know about it because they believe that it destroys the purity of sadhna, so it should be kept secret.
Maa Kali's place is first in this. The worship of the ten Mahavidyas is also related to the awakening of the seven chakras located in our spinal cord – Mooladhara, Swadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna and Sahasrara. Some people also write, read and speak "Dus Mahavidya" as "Dus Mahavidya". When Kundalini is awakened from Muladhara during the sadhana of the ten Mahavidyas, it reaches Sahasrara, opening all the chakras in due time.
The awakening of Kundalini is the union of Mother Kali located in Muladhara with Lord Shiva located in Sahasrar. One who completes this sadhna gets all the siddhis, but the seekers are cautioned not to pay too much attention to the siddhis, otherwise they may deviate from the path. If you ever want to use siddhis, then they should be done only for the welfare of human beings. In the ten Mahavidyas, the mantras of all the goddesses are different, they are known as Panchadasakshari and Shodasakshari mantras.
