Awaken the Durga within

36 x 48 inches, Oil on Gallery wrapped canvas 

In Awaken the Durga Within You, the painting comes alive with a fierce, primordial energy, calling forth the divine feminine force within us all. At the center of the composition is an embodiment of Durga, not as a distant deity, but as a living, breathing presence that resides within every woman. The goddess is portrayed in a dynamic, powerful stance, her form erupting like a volcano, symbolizing the awakening of raw, unstoppable strength. Her multiple arms, each holding symbols of power and protection, are poised to confront and conquer the destructive forces of the world.

The painting is a celebration of the Maa (Supreme Mother) that lives in every woman—the deep, untapped well of power, wisdom, and resilience that can rise to meet adversity. The vibrant red and intense brushstrokes convey the energy of this awakening, as the light of the divine feminine surges upward, igniting a flame that burns with purpose and clarity. The image of Durga emerging from within serves as a reminder that we each hold the capacity to rise, to defend what is sacred, and to fight for balance and justice.

The light that rises within us does not diminish—it elevates, merging with the cosmic force of Shivaya, symbolizing the unity of masculine and feminine energies, of creation and destruction, of peace and power. Awaken the Durga Within You is both a call to action and a spiritual awakening, urging us to embrace our inner goddess, to reconnect with our true power, and to let that power shine as a guiding light for the world.
