Description and curator notes
A focused Polish study of Kali’s anger across myth, canonical imagery and ritual. Sacha compares Purāṇic portrayals of destructive fury with Tantric interpretations of purifying power, then considers sacrifice, confrontation and devotional surrender as responses to the goddess. Useful for comparative iconography and interpretations of fierce divinity, rather than as primary evidence for the dates of Sanskrit works.
