One of the most popular subjects in Kalighat painting is the goddess Kali, who is depicted as a terrifying demoness wearing a garland of skulls and sticking out her blood-red tongue. This depiction of Kali was intended to be fearsome and intimidating, as it was believed to provide protection against evil spirits.

Despite her terrifying appearance, Kali is highly revered in Hinduism, as she is associated with the destruction of evil forces and the preservation of righteousness. She is often depicted with multiple arms, each holding a weapon or symbolic object that represents her power and strength.
