Everyone has freedom in how he imagines his God. No one should have any objection on this. Maa Kali is worshiped in different ways in many places. We should have no objection to this.
Moitra further said, “If you go to Bhutan and Sikkim, then when people worship Maa Kali in the morning, they offer liquor to her. At the same time, there are many places where people do not take the name of alcohol with the name of God. See meat and wine as a disdain for God.
