Divine Fury ( The Destroyer Of Illusion & Evil )
A symphony of divine fury and human expression : This shot captures the raw intensity of a performer embodying Goddess Kali during Dhenkanal's Gajalaxmi Visarjan Yatra. The vibrant blue skin, striking red hands, and lashing tongue freeze a moment of fierce, untamed energy and deep devotion. It’s a powerful snapshot of tradition and raw human emotion colliding in a dazzling display of cultural heritage.
