Devi Kali, the divine Universal mother, is the destroyer of all things negative and is the nurturer of all her devotees. Her typical avatar is her blue/black skin, four or more arms, tongue out, a skirt or made of cut arms, a garland of chunk heads, and an executed head in one of her hands. It is said that she is the wrath side of goddess Durga, who began to slay the rakt beej, and killed all the demons that came before her. In the vengeance of destroying all the demons, she became uncontrollably angry which is why lord Shiva decided to lie down for her to step on him, in turn, calming her down.

In this exceptional brass idol of Maa Durga, goddess Depicted with ten hands and standing on her loyal, dreaded lion. With her two hands, she is grasping a long trident-cum – a spear and in others, holding her sacred Sharag Dhanush, saber, chakra, sankha, bludgeon, plow - pestle, parshu - pash, etc. Seeing the goddess in extreme anger and fierce rage, fear of enemies increased.
With the lion pouncing and hitting the demon with its pointy toes and fierce teeth, Devi Durga is busy crushing great fiery demon Mahishasura with her edgy spear on his broad chest, catching him by hairs. Bejeweled with ornaments, the mother is looking very pretty with her awesome waistline and tight-fittest body even in this pose. The whole structure is installed on a beautiful heightened platform. We take pride in the matchless craftsmanship- it is stylish and showy.
The oil painting that you see on this page depicts the beauteous Devi in a vivid red saree and a gold crown, with Her gorgeous black mane cascading down Her back. The jewels that encircle Her halo of pale gold match the ones studded densely onto Her crown. Around Her neck is a garland of fresh flowers, a devotional offering. She is ashtabhujadharini, the one possessed of (‘dharini’) eight (‘ashta’) arms (‘bhuja’). In each of those hands is a weapon or a divine implement.
The word simhavahini is a portmanteau of ‘simha’ (lion) and ‘vahini’ (rider). Nothing less than a lion suffices Her purpose, as sturdy and determined as She is. Note the brushstrokes that have gone into the mane and the revealed musculature of the creature, proof of the painter’s skill as well as shraddha. An aura of blue surrounds Devi Durga’s haloed head, which contrasts with the textured purple ink background of the composition.
