Ten-armed Devi annihilating demons |
Description |
English: Ten-armed Devi annihilating demons - Unknown, Miniature Painting, Kashmir School - Google Cultural Institute. Paper. 41 x 26 cm. The lion-riding ten-armed Devi holding in her hands a sword, goad, mace, conch, rosary, decapitated human head, tongs, lotus, shield, and wine-cup, is on charge against demons, perhaps of the Raktabija clan. Some already killed lay under her lion's feet while many more, as if emerged out of the soil, face her. Roktabija had powers to recreate a new Raktabija demon out of each drop of his blood that fell on the earth. Various colours of their bodies symbolise evil's various ways. Devi's iconography, floral border and distribution of the space into two blocks, one for the goddess and other for demons, are characteristic features of Kashmir style. |
