Kalighaat Fetish backdrop

Kalighaat Fetish 1999 Directed by Ashish Avikunthak কালীঘাট অতিকথা

The film attempts to negotiate with the duality that is associated with the ceremonial veneration of the Mother Goddess Kali. It ruminates on the nuanced transness that is prevalent, in the ceremonial performance of male devotees cross dressing as Kali. This is interwoven with grotesque elements of a sacrificial ceremony, which forms a vital part of the worship of the Goddess.
