A drawing of the thirteen Kālīs in a hypaethral maṇḍala arrangement alluding to the cakra-melāpas or “circle gatherings” of Krama ritual that typically took place within circular Yoginī Temples. 

Textual source:
“These Kālīs are red and are located on a lotus of twelve petals...They are rays of the Kālī in the centre”
~ Kālīkulapañcakramakramārcana

Acknowledgments:
Lotus cup in which all thirteen Goddesses are situated was inspired by the medieval Tantric ‘Lotus Maṇḍalas’ typical of Chakrasamvara [Item no. 9237, bronze sculpture, www.himalayanart.org/items/9237] and adapted to the Kashmiri style.
