A life-size idol of Goddess Kali, lying upside down in a temple in Siliguri city of the Indian state of West Bengal, has left god-fearing devotees outraged amid a reported incident of a failed robbery attempt to take away the jewels that decorated the idol in the temple.

The pictures ensued a debate on social media, as Hindus slammed "seculars" and "liberals" for not speaking up against “attacks on Hinduism” and while being vocal about issues concerning Muslims.
Don't worry I'm a biggest follower of Maa Kali and she will punish them because she is very alive .

They think by vandalising Maa kali' s form they vandalised Devi's image in our heart? 🤣

They don't know that we Hindus' know the art of making God's and worshipping them without form too ! May she punish the culprits with right karma!

Where is intolerant gang,if it was other way around they would have been active now.
While many demanded a probe into the matter, several netizens took a jibe at the situation in lighter vein.
@RajatScorpio Let's sing national anthem outside the temple and also we will read the preamble of Indian constitution of India. Thus everyone faith is restored in democracy.Anyone who talks of temple call him Sanghi , Godse follower .

Hindu goddess Kali, widely viewed as a destroyer of evil forces, is frequently portrayed as standing or dancing on Shiva, one of the most important deities of Hinduism, who lies beneath her.
