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.

Annapoorneshwari: The Goddess who Feeds One and All
Rs. 120,000
Annapoorna Devi or Annapoorneshwari is considered to be an avatar of goddess Parvati, wife of Lord Shiva. It is said that a long time ago, Devi Parvati was offended by Lord Shiva's remark that "everything materialistic including food is Maya". To prove the importance of sustenance, the Goddess disappeared from the world and as a result, nature came to a standstill. However, she could not see the plight of her devotees and reappeared in Kashi. Lord Shiva, realising his mistake, rushed to her and begged for alms. This Kerala Mural depicts goddess Annapoorna in her resplendent glory after returning to Kashi, serving food to her devotees.

Uma-Maheshvara: Sitting Posture
Rs. 76,000
In classical Hindu lore, Lord Shiva is characteristically depicted as the destroyer and tales of his anger and fearsome temper are legendary. However, Lord Shiva also has a softer side and is known to bestow great favours upon those who worship Him with a single minded purpose and devotion. Stories abound of kings, wise men and devout worshippers who have often gone through extreme meditation and worship (tapasya) in order to curry favour with Lord Shiva and have been subsequently blessed by Him. This side of the Lord of destruction is classically represented as Maheshwara. In this exquisite marble sculpture, the master craftsman focusses on the loving side of Shiva and his consort Parvathi (also known as Uma). Her Shakti is the manisfestation of the universal principle of energy, power and creativity. This intricately carved masterpiece is a throwback to classical sculpting forms and makes a perfect addition to the living room or the puja room of the ardent devotee.

Kali: The Goddess of Creation, Preservation and Destruction
Rs. 6,500
Kali is the feminine form of Kalam ("black, dark coloured"). Kala primarily means "time", but also means "black"; hence, Kali means "the black one" or "beyond time". Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment or shakti. She is therefore called the Goddess of Time, Change, Power, Creation, Preservation, and Destruction.Her earliest appearance is that of a destroyer of evil forces. Kali's association with darkness stands in contrast to her consort, Shiva, whose body is covered by the white ashes of the cremation ground where he meditates, and with which Kali is also associated, as smasana Kali.
