Durga दुर्गा | The Dream of the Mother | Aluminium Print

दुर्गा | This is the goddess as the old mothers remember her, child — soft-edged, half-floating in the warm cream of the afternoon, the lion at her side as gentle as a cat. The weapons are still there, but they have grown light as flowers. Her face is the face you saw once in a long sleep, the one that meant everything was going to be alright. Whatever the rest of the world says about Durga — fierce, terrible, sword-armed — the grandmothers know this face best. The face of the dream where you were safe.
