Sara Kali: Black representativeness in the Xigano Devlesa Avilan temple

Abstract

Each people of humanity has its own history and different ways of feeling the world, which at some point connect with other peoples. Among the wanderings that refer to the gypsy people and the encounter with different cultures is the presence of Santa Sara Kali, in Romani a language of gypsy origin means black, it is worshipped in some gypsy ethnicities. The objective of the research in question is to reflect the black representation in the gypsy temple Devlesa Avilan through the symbology of Sara Kali. Thus, we resorted to the use of participant observation and the aid of the recording of the field diary. In addition, bibliographic and documentary materials were used, as well as the use of semi-structured interviews. Among the elements that constitute the expressions of black representation are the following issues: faith, tolerance and representation.
