Kali is one of the most prominent and widely worshipped goddesses in India, particularly in West Bengal. She is worshipped in various forms – this icon is a form of the goddess Kali known as Maa Bhabatarini.
Traditionally these icons are made of clay from the banks of the river Ganges but, to ensure her longevity, this murti is constructed with fibreglass painted in black oil-based colour and her hair is from jute fibre. During construction the artist placed some clay inside her so she will always have a part of the sacred Ganges wiithin. The jewellery is made from golden threads, pearls and beads. A large crown, embellished with gold leaf, sits on her head behind her third eye. She wears red and white bangles on both hands and the vermillion on her forehead identifies Maa Kali as a married Bengali woman.
