Durga दुर्गा | Witness of the Sri Yantra | Aluminium Print

दुर्गा | Before the great battle, child, the altar is already prepared. Look — the lion stands quiet on the velvet, his eye like coal. The Sri Yantra glows on the cloth at the front, every triangle a step of the long path. The conch waits. The mace waits. The mala lies coiled. The bowls of red kumkum are ready for the foreheads of the devotees. The goddess herself is half-seen through the gold above. She does not need to step out yet. The altar knows her. The lion knows her. Light the small lamp and sit a while.
