Durga Seated on Lion in Brass

Provenance

Durga, the warrior goddess, embodies courage, righteousness, and divine protection. Seated on her majestic lion, she radiates authority and serenity, a reminder that true power lies in mastery over both spirit and circumstance.

Her multiple hands hold sacred weapons, each a symbol of the virtues she embodies: the trident for courage, the sword for knowledge, the conch for cosmic truth, the discus for dharma, the mace for strength, and the lotus for purity and spiritual awakening. Every hand tells a story of resilience, devotion, and the eternal battle between light and darkness.

The lion at her side symbolizes strength and loyalty, its energy amplifying her divine presence. Together, they represent courage tempered with wisdom, power guided by virtue

Brass has long been the material of permanence in Indian artistry. Heavy, unpretentious, it carries the weight of tradition while keeping the details alive: the folds of her robes, the calm tilt of her face, the poised strength beneath her. This piece is not just devotional art—it’s a reminder that learning without courage is fragile, and courage without learning is reckless. Together, they endure.
