Devi (The Goddess), 1960, India, Bengali

Scene Description Kalikinkar sees in a dream, Doya's face merges with the goddess and concludes that she is an avatar of Shakti. The older sister-in-law, a role superbly sustained by Karuna Banerjee, observes from her private quarters, Doyamoyee's pitiable figure publicly installed in the guise of the garlanded goddess; surrounded by worshippers who faithfully believe in her divinity and violently ignore her human parts.
