In Hindu tradition, the crane-headed goddess, Bagala, presides over poisons, black magic and deceitful forms of death. She incites people to torment each other, and has the tongues of enemies in her right hand while in her left she has instruments of torture. Sometimes she has a mace and is dressed in yellow. Bagala is also the one who makes us aware of the death or anxiety of our loved ones, wherever they might be.
