Original Toronto Star caption: Outdoor statue of the Hindu goddess Kali attracs the curious as well as the devout. Around her neck she wears a string of severed heads and in one left hand she holds more. His is a less sinister statue than the black temple version; but both accent the forces of destruction in nature.
