Even though fighting the demons, Durga does not enjoy the carnage, but only participates in the war in order to protect her devotees. Thus, instead of a ferocious look, the face emits calmness. Her quintessential mukut (crown) is the highlight of this piece, which majestically adorns Devi’s head while bringing attention to her exquisiteness. Below the mukut, we can see her curly hair parted in the middle, where a dot of vermillion (an auspicious sign for a married woman) is visible. The artist represented Devi Durga’s spiritual prowess by carving the third eye on her forehead. Devi Durga’s face is placed on a fine wooden stand, making it easy for you to place this brass piece in your home and always be under the loving protection of the divine mother.
