<DIV>Every hindu good or goddess wears 'sari' kind of thing with a little variety. But yes, she seems to be a female deity. Her the part tells that. </DIV>

<DIV>And, I don't see any mouse either. That is serpent king Kaliya. Myth tells Krishana had once suppressed 'Kaliya' . But the deity is not any of Krishana too. Krishana does not have four hands. </DIV>
