Mythology Olympics tournament round 1

Propaganda!

In Greek mythology, Orestes or Orestis was the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, and the brother of Electra. He is the subject of several Ancient Greek plays and of various myths connected with his madness, revenge, and purification, which retain obscure threads of much older works. In Homer's telling of the story, Orestes is a member of the doomed house of Atreus, which is descended from Tantalus and Niobe. He is absent from Mycenae when his father, Agamemnon, returns from the Trojan War with the Trojan princess Cassandra as his concubine, and thus not present for Agamemnon's murder by Aegisthus, the lover of his wife, Clytemnestra. Seven years later, Orestes returns from Athens and avenges his father's death by slaying both Aegisthus and his own mother Clytemnestra.

Kali, also called Kalika, is a major goddess in Hinduism, primarily associated with time, death and destruction. Kali appears in numerous stories, with her most famous being when she sprang from the goddess Durga's fury to defeat the demon Raktabija. She is stated to destroy evil and defend the innocent. Kali is worshipped as the Divine Mother, Mother of the Universe, and Divine feminine energy. She is also seen as the divine protector and bestower of moksha (liberation). Worshipped throughout South Asia but particularly in Nepal, Southern India, Bengal, and Assam, Kali is a central figure in the goddess-centric traditions of Hinduism as well as in Shaivism. Since the late twentieth century, feminist movements in the West started to associate Kali with women's empowerment.

Call for a pinch hitter

When submissions were made, someone submitted a figure named Hinsi from the Hindu religion. However, I cannot find anything about a figure called Hinsi. This is a call for replacements for Hinsi (or for someone who's in the know to explain what this is meant to be). No links or propaganda were submitted.

I'd like the replacement figure to also be Hindu. The only other Hindu figures submitted were Kali and Pritvi. Today's polls are scheduled to start posting at 4pm EST this afternoon.
