Hindu Devotional Arts

In Hinduism, the goddess Durga ("the inaccessible" or "the invincible") or Maa Durga (Mother Durga) "one who can redeem in situations of utmost distress". Durga is a form of Devi, the supremely radiant goddess, depicted as having ten arms, riding a lion or a tiger, carrying weapons (including a Lotus flower), maintaining a meditative smile, and practicing mudras, or symbolic hand gestures.

An embodiment of creative feminine force (Shakti), Durga exists in a state of svātantrya (dependence on the universe and nothing/nobody else, i.e., self-sufficiency) and fierce compassion. Durga is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Kali, and the mother of Ganesha, and Kartikeya. She is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, goddess Parvati. Durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.

We seek to present and sell these works in the best condition possible. However, we must let everyone know these two things; First the posters are printed on a very thin paper in India, so they are a little more delicate than what we typically sell. Second, these prints have come to us by way of some very kind souls near the Himalayas - so they have been on quite a journey already.

We will ship these in protective sleeves with hard matt backing and with an info sheet - to describe the attributes of the deity depicted. In some cases the edges might be slightly folded or very minor wear might have occurred. We will always do our best to send you an art print in the best condition possible. If this is a strong concern of yours, please ask about any of these posters before making a purchase.

The image shown below in the description will be the exact poster you will receive - different auctions correspond to different pictures but have the same content to correspond with the same deity. Information presented will be primarily derived from the Wikipedia to present these deities as objectively as possible. What is for sale is a very high quality 11.5x16.5 inch reproduction.
