Kaaleshwari Devi

This painting of Goddess Kaaleshwari Devi (The Goddess of Time) is created as part of the Navratri (Nine holy nights) festival series

Kaaleshwari Devi is a revered deity, often associated with aspects of power, protection, and time. The name "Kaaleshwari" is derived from two words: Kala, meaning "time," and Ishwari, meaning "goddess" or "queen." She is the goddess who controls time or the supreme ruler over the cycles of time.

The artist has encapsulated her in a powerful, majestic form, symbolizing her vast capabilities and dominion over the elements of time and life. She is shown with a dark complexion, symbolizing her association with time and the cycles of creation and destruction. Her imagery is stern but also compassionate, reflecting the dual nature of creation and dissolution.

Watercolor and gouache on cotton paper 12x12 in.
