More Goddess action
I hope I'll get to Sydney to see NSW Art Gallery's Goddess Exhibition. Here is a review of the show.
And some Goddesses I've photographed over the years. I found goddesses hard to take pics of. Always in the dark, or, as you can see in the second photo, harsh sunlight. Often you can't take a camera into temples. So, apologies for the quality.
May I introduce Miss Kali, from Maderai?

And I never did catch the name of this Goddess from Tashi Jong, though I think she might be Kali as well. 
And finally, Laksmi, the Goddes of Wealth who hangs out on trucks going from village to village during Diwali. I am in urgent need of a visit from her.
