“Guhyakali”- the secret Kali is an extremely powerful yet rarely represented form of the great goddess in Tantra traditions of India and Tibetan Buddhism. Worshipped in India under the authority of the Mahakala Samhita, a text of Vamachara (literally “left” the term Vama stands for female or goddess-centric Tantra).
Juxtaposing the Tantric tradition of the Indian subcontinent with the aesthetics of Tibet (visible in the unique aureole and dancing pose of Kali), this bronze becomes a masterpiece, a singular display of the unseen divine being unveiled in art.
Faces of Guhyakali- The goddess has ten faces- her own smiling face in the center surrounded by nine faces, each belonging to a female animal, symbolic of the powers that the goddess possesses. To her left are Garuda (vulture) and Gaja (elephant).
