Painting of Kamale Kamini
Kamale Kamini (meaning The Lady of the Lotus) is an ancient folklore about a merchant on a very long sea voyage to Sinhal. He travels many miles but loses his way in the middle of the ocean.Then a beatiful lady appears sitting on a lotus in the middle of the rough waters, who looks like a Goddess because of her beauty and her demeanour. Soon after sighting this wonderful and miraculous appearance, the merchant finds land and reaches Sinhal. The Goddess is believed to be a folk deity who with time merged with Puranic deity, Chandi, an incarnation of Durga.
