An epitome of force and energy, the beautiful image of goddess Kali is given a detail treatment. She is holding the slain head of the demon and the lion is looking back to her. The effulgence of colours and the characters that emerge on cotton fabric, help create a resplendent effect in the beautiful painting. Kalamkari art is unique in its use of colour as a medium to portray mythological characters. As the name suggests, Kalamkari is the art of painting cotton fabrics with a kalam i.e. pen, a sharp pointed pierced bamboo that regulates flow of colour on the fabric.
