This framed A3 size Bengal Patachitra painting is inspired by the mythological story of Durga who defeated Mahishasura - the buffalo demon. The battle marks the victory of good over evil, with the ten-armed warrior-goddess riding a majestic lion vanquishing the vicious buffalo demon. It is all about symbolism and it calls on us mortals to have faith in god to dispel all our troubles, and all misfortune the way she destroyed the evil demon. Finally at the end of the battle Devi Durga forgave Mahishasura. In this painting Mahishasur is offering prayers before the Goddess Durga.

The detailing in Goddess Durga's figure brings in character and strength to the painting. The colors and intricate work classify the painting as a splendid effort by the artist. The jewelleries and ornamentation on the body and garments of the figures are created by fine white lines.  This painting will add beauty and brightness to your ethnic corner at your home- in the living room.
