This black-and-white line illustration depicts Goddess Durga in her iconic form-crowned, ornately draped, and seated on a lion-positioned over a stylized outline of the Indian subcontinent. She holds a fluttering flag in one hand and offers the abhaya mudra (gesture of fearlessness) with the other, symbolizing sovereignty, courage, and spiritual guardianship. A single teardrop falls from the map’s southern tip, possibly signifying compassion or sacrifice.
