Catalogue Note

Created in the style of Sajnu. The Goddess Durga depicted in her manifestation as Kali standing triumphantly nimbate within a magnificent bejeweled golden canopy trampling Shiva, her four arms holding attributes and weapons, being celebrated by Gods, kings, sadhus and kinnara musicians after her great victory over the demons. The Himalayas rise sharply upward in nine stylized peaks before a blood-red and blue sky.
