Medium: Oil on Canvas

This powerful oil painting depicts Goddess Durga, the fierce protector and embodiment of divine strength, with ten arms symbolizing the ten major afflictions of material existence. She rides a lion, representing uncontrolled lust, charging across an ocean of nescience—the vast, unstable waters of material illusion and ignorance. Floating on the surface are sleeping human forms, symbolizing the conditioned souls lost in the pursuit of worldly enjoyment. This symbolic scene serves as a profound visual meditation on the soul’s entanglement in material life and Durga’s role in awakening and liberating the fallen beings.
