Maa Kali – Kalighat Pattachitra Reprint Edition

A striking reprint of Kali in the Kalighat Pattachitra tradition—bold, rooted, and unforgettable.

This fine reprint captures Maa Kali in her fiercest form—painted in the expressive idiom of Kalighat Pattachitra, a Bengal school of scroll painting that emerged in 19th-century Calcutta. Bold lines, stark contrasts, and dramatic stylization define this image, where Kali stands atop a supine Shiva, holding a severed head and kharga, her tongue extended and eyes ablaze with divine intensity.

Kalighat Pattachitra was not just a painting style—it was a visual voice of urban Bengal. This portrayal of Kali merges Tantric imagery with folk narrative, making it both spiritually potent and visually arresting. The background remains minimalistic, allowing the goddess’s form and symbolism to occupy the entire field of vision, as intended by early Kalighat artists.

Printed on high-quality matte paper using modern inkjet technology, this reprint maintains the energy and rawness of the original while making it accessible to today’s collectors and devotees.
