Durga[edit]

Goddess Durga, fighting Mahishasura, the buffalo-demon (Hindu Mythology), picture of the "Guler School", early 18th century.

The image is large enough to show the texture of the paper of the painting. A nice composition and use in about 10 wiki article.

  • Comment. Blurry- I assume that this is a scan from a book, rather than a photograph of the actual painting itself. Part of the mount's foot is cut off. Ideally, the caption should identify the identity of each of the figures in the image). Who are those guys up in the clouds? Is there an article about the specific mythical event that this image depicts? Spikebrennan (talk) 14:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the clouds the Devas, celestial beings watching the event, are seen. The story is written in the Devi Mahatmya and Devi Bhagavata and is the background of the Durgapuja, the annual hindufestival in autumn. I have added this information to the description of the file, but I don't
know, why it is not seen? --62.178.254.120 (talk) 13:46, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
