Devi Brahmani is borne on a swan as slender and gorgeous as She is. Note the stance of humility and gratitude conveyed by the angle of its neck, the finesse of its richly detailed inner plumage. Similar engravings are to be found in the vermillion of the Devi’s halo. Goddess Durga This mesmerizing sculpture of the goddess, garbed in red lehenga-choli with zari motifs and thick piping border represents her this form as being worshipped during the nine days Navratri festival in Hinduism. Depicted in her ever-so-famous eight limbs, carrying essential weapons such as trident, bow and arrow, sword, chakra, conch (shankha), gada and lotus flower; sits on the outrageous lion (her vehicle) gifted by the god of mighty mountains, in her abhaya mudra. Shitala Mata - Goddess of Cleanliness Who Carries a Broom Shitala literally means ‘one who cools’ and referred to as ‘ma’ or ‘mata’ as she, just like a mother cures her children of diseases and other evil spirits and ghosts. She is known by various names, Jagrani (queen of the world), Karunamayi (full of mercy), Mangala (auspicious one), Bhagawati (goddess) and Dayamayi (full of grace and kindness). Lakshmi - Goddess of Fortune and Prosperity Goddess Lakshmi is popularly known as Padmavati as she is always surrounded by lotuses, as shown here, she sits on a fully blooming lotus throne and holds two lotus each in each of her rear hands. Her calming smile and the sparkling lotus eyes compliment her motherly, peace giving and enlightened gesture. The River Goddess Ganga Goddess Ganga is pictured as a beautiful lady with white complexion, holding ‘purna-ghata’, a pot, that contains power of all three cosmic elemental regions: earth, water and sky in her both the back hands. Right hand is in Abhaya Mudra (protection) and left hand has a rosary; garbed graciously in a pink and blue tinged garment, adorned with beautiful jewels. There is a makara (crocodile) behind goddess Ganga. It is her sacred vehicle which is represented as half mammal and half fish with reptilian brain and dolphin like tail. Makara indicates how a human’s intellect outgrows fear on facing problems. This goddess faces these fears and uses makara as her conveyance to move forward on the path of growth, strength and beauty. Guhya Kali - The Secret, Tantric Form of Goddess Kali This secretive and rare form of Kali sculpture represents her hair flowing down in all its fierceness. Her ten faces represent different animal aspects- Dvipika: a leopard or panther, Keshari: a white lion, Pheru: black jackal, Vanara: red monkey, Riksha: purple bear, Nara: cochineal colored woman, Tawny: garuda, Makara: turmeric colored crocodile, Gaja: gold colored elephant, Haya: dark colored horse. Four Armed Standing Lakshmi Her iconography is unmistakable. Chaturbhujadhari (four-armed), with the palms of the anterior hands turned outward in blessing. Zoom in on the same to take in the beauty of the vivid vermillion-coloured mehendi tattooed against her milk-white skin. Matching red mehendi is to be found on the precisely sculpted toes of Her delicate feet. In each of Her posterior hands She holds a pink, green-stemmed lotus, picked fresh off the waters. The Serenity Of Devi Durga She is clad in a peach sari draped in contemporary North Indian style, over a pastel green blouse. Gold necklaces descend from Her long neck, and gather over the kamarband clasped around Her waist. The crown on Her gentle head is studded with the finest rubies and emeralds, from the rim of which cascades dense black tresses. She is Simhavahini (simha is Sanskrit for lion, vahini for rider), seated in lalitasana on the back of Her roaring steed, who looks ready to pounce on the first asura in sight. The Beauteous Devi Parvati, Tiger-skin Over Her Saree Over the pale peach saree that conceals Her young maternal frame, She wears a tiger-skin that holds the drape in place. Together with the necklace of rudrakshas and the kamandalu in Her right and left anterior hands, respectively, these elements of Her iconography convey Her status as the wife of none other than Mahadeva Himself. The gold on the edges of Her garment and the shringar on Her torso, wrists, and earlobes add to Her divine beauty. Goddess Durga Seated on Lion Wearing a Red Sari This goddess of Navratri symbolizes the triumph of good over evil in a celebration of nine days tenure, followed by Dussehra. Durga Maa is the giver of power and strength as she is the supreme Shakti with her eight hands carrying the behavioral lethal weapons. She is the feminist power and positive energy in a tag of the goddess of war and divine light to protect devas. MAA KALI In this breathtaking idol, Mother Kali is depicted in her fierce rage dancing on her consort Shiva’s chest, wearing a girdle of human hands over her waistline, with a garland of skulls, fearful with her tongue lolling out, having deep blood-stained eyes, a bloodstained krapan in one hand, a male-skeleton in the other, a blood-filled bowl in the third and with her fourth hand blessing the devotees, she looks very furious and devastating.
