Myth and Meaning

Her origins are often traced back to the fierce battles against demons that threatened the cosmic order. Legends tell of her emergence from the brow of Goddess Durga, a manifestation born of righteous anger, intended to vanquish the forces of evil. This piece brings to life aspects of the mythology: the garland of severed heads representing the cutting away of ego and ignorance, the weapons signifying her power to destroy negativity, and the dynamic pose reflecting her active role in upholding dharma (righteous conduct). Some tales say she became so intoxicated with battle that Shiva himself intervened, lying down beneath her feet to halt her destructive dance. The goddess, upon realizing she was treading upon her consort, bit her tongue in shame. This is said to have restored her to equilibrium, illustrating a balance of destruction and creation inherent in the divine feminine.

Beyond its spiritual significance, this piece is a testament to skillful craftsmanship. The meticulous details capture the potent energy of the deity. From the adornments on her limbs to the details of the face, no element has been overlooked.
