EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century watercolor painting, titled "Durga Being Worshipped by Two Devotees (image 2 of 3)" showcases the reverence and devotion towards the Hindu goddess Durga. The image, of uncertain origin but believed to be from Rajasthan, India, depicts Durga seated on a golden throne, surrounded by a lush, rose-colored background. With her eight arms, each holding a distinct symbol, she is a powerful embodiment of feminine strength and protection. Two devotees, a man and a woman, are shown in a humble and respectful posture, with their hands folded in prayer. The man is dressed in a simple white garment, while the woman wears a pink sari, adorned with intricate gold and silver jewelry. Both devotees are depicted in a cross-legged position, a common posture of meditation and deep concentration in Hinduism. The use of opaque watercolor and gold and silver on paper adds to the richness and grandeur of the image. The intricate details of Durga's many limbs, the delicate folds of the devotees' clothing, and the ornate throne all contribute to the overall beauty and intrigue of this piece. This painting is a testament to the deep-rooted Hindu tradition and heritage, and a reminder of the enduring significance of Durga in the religious practices of South East Asia and India. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and stunning artwork in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic and cultural heritage of the past.
