Question

This deity likely inspired a similarly named Egyptian servant who is venerated by a procession of horses entering the sea. The traditions of this deity influenced a pilgrimage to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (“sahnt mah-REE duh lah MEHR”) as part of the Romani worship of Saint Sara (“sah-RAH”), whose name sometimes adds the name of this deity. The poetry of Ramprasad Sen mostly addresses this deity, often with the title “Ma.” The iconography of this deity, who is particularly popular in Bengal, includes a (*) garland of severed heads (10[1])and a garment (10[1])of tiger skin, much like (-5[1])the Buddhist deity Tara (“TAH-rah”). The Rolling Stones’ logo of a tongue sticking out was inspired by images of this goddess standing on her consort (10[1])Shiva. For 10 points, name this Hindu goddess who emerged from Durga’s forehead and symbolizes time or death. ■END■ (0[1])
