Kolkota (Calcutta)
A collection of images pertaining to the Great Goddess Kali and to those who worship Her.
Often envisioned as merely a destructive or so-called dark deity, Kali is - in fact - much more; including a compassionate mother and a seductive lover.
For details about Kali, consult our section Dakini Yogini Central where you'll find a description of the Goddess as well as the Adyakali Svarupa Stotra, a sacred text containing her 100 names.
