Description and curator notes

A complete scanned master’s thesis devoted to the iconography of Kali. The institutional copy preserves the original title page, thesis text, and concluding bibliography, making it a useful historical research record from the early 1990s. Its focus is the visual presentation of the goddess and the meanings attached to her forms, attributes, and status as supreme divinity. The PDF is legible but the body has not been supplied as searchable OCR, so visitors need to read the page images. It should be used as a university thesis with its own historical scholarly context, not as a definitive catalogue of all Kali images.
