The Invinsible Shakti
"Shakti" in Hindu mythology is believed to be the source of all energy. It is from her that life forms take birth and come into being. We can thus draw a conclusion that the concept of Shakti explores the idea of femininity and womanhood.
This collection brings together sculptures, paintings and more that celebrate the same.
