Description and curator notes

Botanist's journal noting offerings to Siva, Doorga and Kali.

Curator source KALI-100B11-037, from the paired 100-source CSV/spreadsheet.
Metadata and access descriptions below are supplied by the curator export, not a new independent verification by this library. Museum images/records and audio are not represented as complete written texts.

This chapter record covers only the named chapter, not the complete parent book.

Historical, colonial, missionary, polemical and fictional depictions are evidence of their authors' representations, not neutral descriptions of Kali worship or endorsements of violence. Named chapters and translated fiction retain their bounded scope and translation attribution.

This record covers the named poem, story, letter, encyclopedia entry or section rather than asserting a complete parent volume.
