EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Hindu Goddess Kali in a moment of intense dance atop Siva, depicted in vibrant colors through lithography. Created by an Indian School artist during the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. Kali, known as the fierce aspect of the supreme goddess Devi, exudes power and strength in her dynamic pose. Adorned with a necklace made from human heads, she symbolizes both destruction and creation within Hinduism. Her presence is awe-inspiring yet bloodthirsty, embodying both ferocity and divine grace. The image captures Kali's sword-wielding hand poised mid-air while her other hand rests on Siva's shoulder. This juxtaposition represents her role as both destroyer and protector. As she dances upon Siva, their union signifies the interconnectedness between male and female energies within Hindu mythology. This extraordinary piece offers viewers a glimpse into ancient religious beliefs and traditions that continue to shape contemporary Hindu culture. It serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of deities worshipped by millions worldwide. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are invited to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also delve deeper into its symbolic significance within Hinduism – celebrating diversity while honoring centuries-old spiritual practices.
