The picture of the Goddess Kali was the inspiration for the famous Rolling Stones logo, designed by John Pasche in 1971. It was shown to the artist by Mick Jagger because he was looking for something similar. Of course the result was pretty different, but also wonderful.

Thanks again to knslyr, for introducing this awesome blog to us months ago. Since then, it has become one of my favourites.
