Shakti

Adorned with divine flowers on her sea-like wavy hair, Wearing a nose ring that shines in a way that humbles the shining star, Making the sun and the moon as ear studs maintaining the dynamic balance, With red cheeks that make the rubies shy, Having the third eye depicting the inner vision, And the red 'bindi' of ‘kumkum’ on her forehead, She is fierce and compassionate at the same time. She is the symbol of valor as well as beauty.

Shakti means power or energy in Sanskrit and this is always depicted as feminine. This painting is a depiction of ‘Shakthi- The feminine energy', inspired by how Goddess Lalitambika is described in ‘Lalitasahasranamam- A thousand names of Lalita Devi’ and the Lingabhairavi Devi - Goddess worshipped in the form of a Linga. It is my humble manifestation of feminine energy expressed on a digital canvas.
