Madhubani Goddess Painting on Handmade Paper, "Dakshinakali"

Devendra Kumar Jha works with natural vegetable dyes on handmade paper to create this stunning Madhubani painting. Madhubani, a traditional style of Indian painting, features eye-catching geometric shapes created with fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks. The painting depicts Hindu goddess Kali wearing a garland of human heads. Dakshinakali, pictured here with her right foot on Shiva's chest, is the most popular form of Kali in Bengal.
