This powerful bronze presents Varahi, the formidable Matrika and commander of Durga’s divine armies, shown here in her Ashtabhuja form. Standing within a flaming aureole, Varahi advances with one foot set forward and the other poised behind, a sculptural rhythm that conveys readiness for battle and unstoppable momentum.
Her flaming hair, crowned with the sun and moon as hairpins, announces her dominion over time and cosmic forces. A garland of skulls frames her torso, marking her role as the great dissolver of fear and ignorance.
In her eight arms, she wields an array of weapons and emblems: chakra, khadaga (sword), hala (plough), trishula, shankha, shield, and musala.
At the base, her attendants sit upon the platform, one rotund figure armed and alert, the other folded in devotion, grounding the composition in both action and surrender. The stylised flames of the prabhavali rise and curl with animated energy, echoing Varahi’s own dynamic stance.
This bronze captures Varahi not as a static icon, but as the living force of the Great Mother herself, poised between command and action, embodying courage, protection, and invincible feminine power.
