Kali काली | Mother Fierce in the Fire | Aluminium Print

काली | When the asuras would not stop, the storyteller says, Durga's brow grew dark — and out of that darkness came Kali. She came running, with a sword in one hand and a severed head already in the other. The flames around her are not destruction; they are the heat of a mother whose children are in danger. The red of her sari is the same red as a mother's love when it is roused. Do not be afraid of her, the elder says. She is only fierce on your side.
