The Kalika Puraan is one of the 18 Puraans written by sage Vyasa
The extant text contains 98 chapters with over 9000 stanzas and is the only work of the genre dedicated to the worship of the goddess Kali in her manifold forms such as Girija, Devi, Bhadrakali, and Mahamaya. This text describes in detail the rivers and mountains at Kamarupa Tirtha and mentions the Kamakhya temple
A major theme of the Kalika Purana is the way the Goddess incarnates, first as Sati and later as Parvati. In these forms, She emulates the yogic practices of Lord Shiva. She entices him out of his tranquil detached spirituality, and into an active involvement with the manifest world
The main purpose of the text seems to be an attempt to close the gap between mainstream religious practice and the "forbidden" tantric methods
