Red Stone Kali Sculpture

Provenance

Hand-carved in red stone, this striking statue depicts multihanded goddess Kali in a graceful dance pose, embodying both power and fluidity. The sculptural detailing in her attire, ornaments, and expressive form reflects the mastery of traditional Indian stone carving, while the red stone itself adds warmth and intensity, symbolising energy and divine strength. Its dramatic presence makes it a captivating piece for display in temples, pooja rooms, or curated art collections.

In Indian mythology, multiheaded deities symbolise omniscience and transcendence, embodying the divine ability to perceive all directions and truths simultaneously. The dancing posture recalls the cosmic rhythm of creation and destruction, echoing traditions found in South Indian temple sculpture and classical dance iconography. Such stone figures have been revered for centuries, bridging artistry and spirituality—this piece continues that lineage, offering both cultural depth and sacred presence.
