[Galina Trefil · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you know absolutely nothing about female deities in Hinduism, this might be useful to read. But the focus remains much more on the images than the actual text and there is much less emphasis on Kali herself than the title would suggest. For both of these reasons, I will be seeking out another book on the subject material.

Side Note: As a Romani reader, I did appreciate that the Romani version - (Kali Sara) - of the Goddess was mentioned, though I did not get the impression that the author was sure whether or not Roma are Diaspora Indians or not.

Interesting. But very, very dry.

Assolutamente fantastico! Ci sono immagini in questo libro quasi introvabili. Le storie su Kali sono molto belle.
Peccato non sia più in commercio, io stessa ho faticato molto per entrarne in possesso.

A little art history, a little taste of Kali hymns and worship comprise this slender book. I only wish more of the illustrations were in color.

Hindu Goddess of Death and Rebirth. I am not Hindu, but love the Archetype she represents.
