My Girl Durga!

Independent. Powerful. Divine. Beautiful. Fearful. Friendly. Unattainable. Alluring. Enigmatic.
Beyond reach…

That’s my girl. Durga.Last year, I got the original art by Debashish Deb as a Durga Pujo greeting from my friend in Calcutta, RJS.

Though I could never really create what the artist has in the original painting, but I feel immensely content with my first Durga painting.My other Durga-endeavors are these photographs I clicked in 2008, New Delhi, during Durga Puja hopping between pandals in Chittaranjan Park.

That is the Goddess’ Canadian avatar @ Durga Pujo 2009, Kalibari, GTA.   

She comes in clay… She comes in color…But she only comes to us once in a year!

Till we go pandal-hopping again, in the words of my great grandmother-Naani…

Dugga Dugga!!
