kali mata

article can have more external links.

Hello, The article can have more external links.Nenetarun (talk) 17:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Examples? Afaik, She doesn't have an official website ;-) Guidance at WP:EL, note also the Further reading section. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:32, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You should not be speaking about a goddess like this. Be respectful. Nenetarun (talk) 04:47, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the Beatles movie Help the main theme was sacrificing one to Kaili! 2600:1702:33E0:2710:5082:686B:657E:28D6 (talk) 03:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comparative scholarship

Hello, @Antiquistik: thank you for expanding this page. It would be more appropriate to move theory about Possible Near Eastern influences to it's own section under "Comparative scholarship" as it is done for Sekhmet and Anat pages. Marvin H. Pope's theory is not widely received since not much has not been much published about this theory since 1970s, therefore Comparative scholarship would be more appropriate here instead of origins.117.198.116.86 (talk) 03:41, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, more recent scholarship on Kali on like - "Tantric Kali Secret Practices and Rituals By Daniel Odier" (2016), "Offering Flowers, Feeding Skulls By June McDaniel" (2004), "Encountering Kali In the Margins, at the Center, in the West By Jeffrey J. Kripal, Rachel Fell McDermott" (2003)- Do not make any such claims either or mention it. 117.198.116.86 (talk) 02:49, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved it under Comparative scholarship section, it is similar to what is present in Sekhmet and Anat pages.117.198.116.86 (talk) 02:57, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
