Goddess in Ritual

Original Painting

Goache on A3 watercolour paper

Original figurative painting of a multi armed goddess in ritual. The mantra Om Shreem is the bija (seed) mantra of the hindu goddess Lakshmi who bestows abundance and prosperity with blessings of wealth, material comfort, generosity and tenderness. Two yoginis open their hearts for blessing in the asana known as Ustrasana- camel pose. The conch shell is symbolic of the sound or creation- AUM.
