I recently had the pleasure of designing and painting a 'Goddess Durga'- the warrior Goddess, teapot for a client for the upcoming Navratri festival celebrated across India. Goddess Durga the very versatile and multi-faceted is one of the most revered, Goddess in Hinduism. She symbolises female strength and power and worshiped during a nine day festival- 'Navratri' which culminates on the ten day with the Dussera festival, where an effigy of Ravana is burnt, which is symbolic of the victory of Lord Ram over Ravana -good over evil.
This particular commissioned work had its fair share of challenges but I'm very happy with the final result!
