Durga दुर्गा | The Throne After Victory | Museum Poster

दुर्गा | After the great battle is done, grandchild, the goddess takes her throne. The lion folds down at her feet — no longer a weapon, just her old companion catching his breath. The gold flowers open around her. The pink roses fall slowly. Her eyes are kind now. The terror she wore for the demon has fallen away with the demon. She is the Mother again. People come quietly to stand before her. She gives what she always gives. The throne is not for sitting above us. It is so we can see her clearly when we kneel.
