This intricate black-and-white line drawing portrays the Hindu goddess Durga in her iconic form with ten arms, each holding a sacred weapon gifted by the gods, including a trident, discus, bow, arrow, sword, and conch. She rides a roaring lion while subduing the buffalo demon Mahishasura, whose human form emerges from the beast’s body-a visual metaphor for ego and ignorance being overcome by divine wisdom and strength. The halo behind her head signifies her divinity and supreme power.
