The many-armed goddess, waving a variety of weapons and symbols, charges her enemies astride a white lion. The many arms of the goddess emphasize her power, and the dramatic elongation of the lion conveys a sense of its fleetness. The hideous demons, portrayed in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colours, are set like paper dolls in disarray against a dark green background. The rocks or hills on the left are stylized in a manner reminiscent of Van Gogh, adding to the emotional intensity of the scene.35mmslidecoloursepiaen-AUCentral India: Malwa & Bundelkhandpaintingsminiaturesslide set2019-12-06This item is provided for research purposes.
