Actually Kali predates Ray Harryhausen by several centuries.
Kali is the fearful and ferocious form of the mother goddess Durga. She assumed the form of a powerful goddess and became popular with the composition of the Devi Mahatmya, a text of the 5th - 6th century AD. Here she is depicted as having born from the brow of Goddess Durga during one of her battles with the evil forces. As the legend goes, in the battle, Kali was so much involved in the killing spree that she got carried away and began destroying everything in sight. To stop her, Lord Shiva threw himself under her feet. Shocked at this sight, Kali stuck out her tongue in astonishment, and put an end to her homicidal rampage. Hence the common image of Kali shows her in her m�l�e mood, standing with one foot on Shiva's chest, with her enormous tongue stuck out.
Not trying to be pompous just instructional;)
A great skin BTW.

Yah,I knew who Kali is,more or less...this just happened to be from Ray's film.I wondered as I was making it if there really were a sword bearing precedent or if that was Ray's doing.�
