EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing page from the ancient Devi-Mahatmya, depicting the awe-inspiring Goddess as she triumphantly drinks the blood of the formidable demon Raktabija. Created around 1640 in central India, this vibrant artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of Malwa. The painting's vivid colors on paper bring to life an intense battle scene, where Raktabija's blood spills onto the ground only to give rise to countless clones of himself. However, it is the resolute Goddess who stands tall amidst this chaos, her divine aura radiating power and determination. With each sip she takes, Raktabija weakens further until his ultimate defeat becomes inevitable. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art, this masterpiece remains shrouded in mystery regarding its creator.
