Many-armed Hindu Goddess?

I forget her name... not Kali, is it?
Anyway, I'm sure you know the one I mean - she's pictured with about
5-7 arms on each side, displayed in a somewhat dancing mode, and usually
one leg up a little as well.
Has anyone got an ascii pic of her?
TIA
Here is someone else's Ganeesha...

I am butting into this, and I did not get a chance to see if there were any
more replies... I am the Head Builder on a mud & recently got a request to
add in Kali. I did a BIT of research on her (and only her, not Shiva or
Ganeesha) Kali does have 4 arms...her is a short desc...
"Her idol is black besmeared with blood; she has red eyes, four arms with
blood-stained hands, matted hair huge fang-like teeth, and a protruding
tongue that drips with blood. She wears a necklace of skulls, earrings of
corpses, and is girdled with serpents. In one hand she has a scimitar, in
another the head of a demon which she holds by his hair, the third hand is
spread flatly open bestowing a blessing and in the fourth she holds another
weapon, usually a spear."

You are right most part except the hand part...
Kali has more than 4 hands and more than one head
http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/southasiacenter/Newsletter/99Spring/Kali.gif
http://libbagillum.com/webphotos/kali2.jpg is a more subtle version.

But I have also seen 4 hand and single head versions of her.
Kali is the most popular Godess/Deity and workshipped by Hindus!

Bravo ! One little - well - emm - comment here: Stars connot be seen when behind the moon. And the moon's distance to earth is about 1/400 of the distance earth - sun, the sun being the nearest star. It's only 8 lightminutes from here to the sun, but it's four lightyears from here to the next star. (For those interested) Regards, R@ineR
