About this 3D model

This recreation of a bronze masterpiece presents Kali in the classical chola style, poised on a high plinth with one foot firmly crushing the dwarf of ignorance (Apasmara). Her hair rises flame-like behind a tall crown; a fan of multiple arms wields the goddess’s arsenal—sword, trident, discus, bell, drum, noose, shield, and a severed head—while frontal hands confer abhaya and varada. Kali’s stamping of the dwarf signifies the subjugation of avidya (delusion) under the force of divine knowledge.
