The fearsome dark Goddess Kali - the most terrifying manifestation of the great Goddess Durga - seated triumphantly on the prostrate naked figures of Shiva and Sava within a flaming pyre - her glazed eyes rolled upwards and her tongue licking out in bloodlust after her victory against the asuras.  Nimbated, she wears an apron of severed limbs and a necklace of skulls - holding her attributes and weapons in her eight arms: a broadsword / goad / snakes / a noose / a trisula (trident) / lotus and golden paddle. The hillside strewn with bones as jackals howl in the distance.
