Dashabhuja Kali

This lifelike sculpture of the Devi will add to your space a strong aura of the wrathful and the invincible. Zooming in on Her limbs and face will enable you to appreciate the great skill that has gone into putting together such an effective portrayal - the lifelike musculature, the high-precision digits, and the superbly smooth skin. No wonder they call Her Kali because She is said to have conquered kal (time) itself in Her unflinching pursuit of dharm across time and space.

One of Her legs is raised and positioned on the chest of Her supine husband, the Lord Shiva Himself, who succumbs to Her ferocity. What distinguish this composition from your run-of-the-mill Kali sculptures are the looming crown and the ornate double-lotus pedestal, each of which has been engraved with great skill and labour.
