Kalimata – Mundamala Dharini (Heritage Reprint Edition)

A visceral reprint of Maa Kali as Mundamala Dharini—fierce, mythic, and rooted in Bengal’s chromolithographic tradition.

This heritage reprint features Maa Kali as Mundamala Dharini, the garland-wearing form of the goddess as depicted in 19th-century Bengali chromolithographs. Standing atop Shiva’s prostrate body, her four arms stretch outward—holding a sword and freshly severed head, while her tongue drips blood in divine frenzy. She is crowned with a halo of severed heads, each unique in expression, echoing her cosmic role as the destroyer of ego and illusion.

Originally printed by studios such as C. Lester & Co., Bowbazar Street, Calcutta, this image reflects a time when mass devotional art blended mythic terror with printed intimacy. The cloudy battlefield, divine spectators in the sky, and the visceral red spilling into the frame create an emotional, tantric landscape—not for the faint-hearted, but for the faithful.

Reprinted by The Bengal Craft on premium matte paper, this edition maintains the intensity and complexity of the original, making it a powerful addition to any sacred or art-centric space.
