Kali (Kaliyan in
Tamil) was the sixth fragment of the primordial manifestation of
Kroni (evil) according to
Akilam, the source of
Ayyavazhi mythology and the holy book of
Ayyavazhi religion. Unlike other previous manifestations, Kali spread in this
yugam (yukam in Tamizh) as
maya (illusion). Details of Kali were restated in Ayyavazhi Religion and he is the same
Kali mentioned in
Kalki Purana.
