From this outcome, we can see a common theme among Indian Hindu goddesses as well: female energy is powerful and potentially dangerous. Village goddesses are prone to becoming angry, and so must be worshiped to keep them from causing disease.When a goddess is married, then her powerful but angry is neutralized. That is why the Hindu goddesses that are peaceful are all married, while the fierce ones remain uncoupled. This perspective about the divine operates in Bali just as in India (and some other areas), and necessitates religious rituals that pacify the goddess.
