Rangda: the demon queen of the Leyaks or the queen of evil witches in Bali-Indonesia, according to traditional Balinese mythology.
Terrifying to behold, the blood-thirsty, the child-eating, the witch-widow mistress of black magic.
Rangda leads an army of evil witches againts the leader of the forces of good: Barong.
She is depicted as a mostly nude old woman with long and unkempt hair, pendulous breasts and claws. Her face is traditionally a horrirfying fanged and goggled eyed mask with long protruding tounge.
Rangda also associated with Durga (the Hindu goddess of destruction and as the mother warrior goddess) and associated with Kali, as another transformation who represent Durga in Hinduism.
While Rangda is seen as fearsome and by many as the personification of evil, she is also nevertheless considered a protective force in certain parts of Bali, much like Kali is seen as a benevolent mother goddess in the Indian states of West Bengal, Assam and Kerala. The colors associated with her - white, black and red - are identical with those associated with Kali.
