The Dust of Dissolution: Kali's Passage Through the Village Path
Devi Bhagavata Purana (Vedic Commentary) (The specific incident of Viraj and the Kali-Chalanam is a dramatic interpolation; the underlying theology of Kali's role as the remover of Maya is rooted in the Devi Mahatmya and the Śrīmad Bhagavatam, but no precise citation for this narrative sequence exists.)
A young seeker named Viraj witnesses the ritual of the Kali-Chalanam, where the Goddess Kali walks through a village. Her footfalls emit a divine resonance that acts as a purifier, causing the subtle, illusionary bonds of worldly attachments (*maya*) to fall away from the villagers, forcing them to confront their true, detached spiritual state.
