Once a group of people wanted to know what makes for hell and what makes heaven.
Where all suffer, it is called hell and where all enjoy it is called heaven. So the committee of the above persons wanting to know how hell is made, first went to hell where all people were suffering. What they saw in hell surprised them very much because hell looked a very rich place where every enjoyable object was available in plenty. Why should any one suffer here, they wondered. As it was the lunch time in hell, all denizens of hell were in the dining hall and the committee went to investigate whether there was any food problem. The members of the investigation committee closely scrutinized the people who were thus quarrelling and fighting. The committee felt that it was cruel joke to play upon people. They wished to see how things were in heaven and went there in time to see the heavenly beings at lunch. Hindu Mythology- Question #5- Describe this image and compare with other images of Kali.
