Rare Kalighat Painting of Goddess Kali from the Renowned Kali Temple, Calcutta:

Rare Kalighat Painting of Goddess Kali from the Renowned Kali Temple, Calcutta: This exceptional and rare Kalighat painting represents the rich artistic legacy of Bengal. Created by artists near Calcutta’s iconic Kalighat Temple, these paintings were traditionally sold to pilgrims and visitors. Over time, Kalighat paintings evolved into a distinct art form that had a profound influence on later artists such as Jamini Roy.

This particular piece, likely from the early 20th century, holds significant cultural value, providing an intimate glimpse into the historical and artistic fabric of Bengal during that period.
