This female Hindu deity holds a cup in her left hand and a trident (trishul) in her right. The latter is a symbol of the god Shiva, which means this is a female deity connected to Shiva, so she must be an avatar of his consort, Parvati, in this case the goddess Kali. The latter can have a variable number of arms, with a corresponding variety of implements or attributes in her hands.
