I found a poster of this goddess in Null Bazaar, right next to the vegetable section.
 Anyone know who she is? I can't tell.

Anyone know who she is? I can't tell.She was in a shop selling ceremonial stuff for weddings - incense sticks, little plastic coconuts, paper flowers and other tinselly stuff.
I think it is the Goddess Gauri, but I can't figure out what the parrots are all about. 
The design on the forehead suggests she is Maharashtrian. So does the nose-ring. It is a strange poster, half drawing, half-tinsel, with a real nose-ring, and a real mangalsutra round the neck. Looks like something someone would place or gift during a wedding ceremony.
Null Bazaar has a big community of fisherwomen who have stalls in the fish-and-meat section. You think this is something to do with them?
