Parvati पार्वती | Queen of the South with Her Children | Museum Poster

पार्वती | In the old Tanjore manner, grandchild, they paint the goddess seated in full majesty so that we may stand before her as her children. Here is Parvati on her cushioned throne — Kartikeya the warrior at her left, Ganesh the wise one at her right, the great lion drowsing at her feet, and Shiva her husband in the medallion above. The pink lotus in her raised hand. The blessing palm turned outward. The jewelled frame burns with rubies and emeralds. Come and stand before this. The Mother does not turn anyone away.
