Drawings of Maa Kali for Kali Puja, celebrated in Bengal, Assam and Odisha on the new-moon night of Diwali. The three subjects are the goddess's face, her full form with four arms, and the alpona of petal and vine lines laid for her puja. Each is drawn in one of three styles: a simple outline a child can copy, a Kalighat pat with flat colour, or fine pen and ink. Type a different pose and the styles carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
