EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning representation of a Yakshini, also known as Yaksi, which is a spirit of nature in Hinduism. The sculpture, created by Mathura in the 2nd century, beautifully captures the essence of this mythological character. The Yakshini stands gracefully on a dwarf, symbolizing her dominance over earthly realms. Her presence exudes power and mystique as she holds a parrot perched on her hand. The parrot represents wisdom and communication in Hindu mythology. Crafted from gres (sandstone), this artwork exemplifies the intricate carving techniques prevalent during ancient times. Every detail is meticulously sculpted to bring out the beauty and complexity of this divine figure. Displayed at the Indian Museum in Calcutta, India, this piece serves as an important cultural artifact that reflects the rich heritage and religious beliefs of Hinduism. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient mythology and appreciate the artistic prowess of Indian craftsmen. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph expertly captures all these elements with great precision and clarity. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness this mesmerizing sculpture up close. This image not only celebrates art but also invites contemplation about spirituality, nature's wonders, and our connection with mythical beings across different cultures.
