Kalā

Kalā means 'performing art' in Sanskrit. In Hindu scriptures, Shiva is the master of Kalā. In the Lalita Sahasranama, the devi is invoked as an embodiment of the 64 fine arts. In some contexts, devi Sarasvati is also attributed with this 64 kalās and thus she is called Kalanidhi or Chausath Kalamayi. (the owner of 64 kalās)
