Description

The figure of the Goddess Durga killing Mahisasur is a paradigm of gracefulness and artistic efflorescence that has been chiseled out with minute details. The Goddess Durga is the epitome of power and she symbolizes a triumph of the good over the evil. Durga Puja is the most popular festival in West Bengal. The Puja signifies the victory of Goddess Durga, wife of Lord Shiva over a buffalo headed demon (Mahisasur). The form under which she is adored is that of an image with ten arms and a weapon in each hand, her right leg resting on a lion and her left on the buffalo demon. It is believed that she was created out of the accumulated power of all the gods specially to kill the demon Mahisasur that created havoc among the gods.

The beautiful figure of the Goddess Durga killing the demon Mahishasur with her weapon is given a refine and detail treatment. The Goddess is holding ten different weapons on her each hand and the lion is looking at the demon king. Goddess Durga is one of the most-popular goddesses in Hinduism.

Durga is a manifestation of Shakti (power). Legends have it that once Mahishasura (a bufallo faced demon) wrought havoc on earth and the heavens. All the gods and goddesses met and thrashed out a strategy to get rid of the demon. They gave their powers and weapons to create a new goddess. The seven mothers merged together to form Durga - the powerful.
Durga armed herself with Shiva's trident, Vishnu's discus and mace, Kumaraa's spear and Indra's thunderbolt. Her face was from the light of Shiva. Her ten arms were from Lord Vishnu. Her legs were from Lord Brahma.
Equipped with the fearsome weaponry of the gods and dressed in golden armor and jewels she ultimately killed the demon.

The colourful Madhubani painting depicts the Goddess Durga killing the demon Mahishasur. The beheaded figure of the demon king and the eight-handed Goddess with her weapons are nicely painted with some beautiful natural colours. Madhubani painting is centred around Mithila region of Bihar, where women painters depict mythological and natural figures on cloth, hand-made paper and canvas. This is an age-old tradition and has been handing down from generations to generations.

''Witty, polished, honest and insightful, The Epic City is likely to become for Calcutta what Suketu Mehta's classic Maximum City is for Mumbai' William Dalrymple, Observer.When Kushanava Choudhury arrived in New Jersey at the age of twelve, he had already migrated halfway around the world four times. After graduating from Princeton, he moved back to Calcutta, the city which his immigrant parents had abandoned. Taking a job at a newspaper, he found the streets of his childhood unchanged. Shouting hawkers still overran the footpaths, fish sellers squatted on bazaar floors; and politics still meant barricades and bus burnings. The Epic City is a soulful, compelling and often hilarious account of this metropolis of fifteen million people that is truly a world unto itself.

DESCRIPTION:

The seeds of war have been planted and the world is on the brink of the greatest of all battles.

First in Ashok Banker’s The Epic Mahabharata series, The Children of Midnight explores the home of the illustrious Kuru dynasty, which has just welcomed two new sons – Dritarashtra and Pandu. Cursed with unfortunate afflictions from the moment they are born, the two nevertheless grow up to be skillful young princes. As the wicked Jarasandha plots to seize their empire, they must prove their mettle and fight for their lives – and their legacy.

Meanwhile, in distant Bhoja, a young Kunti sacrifices her youth – and her heart – to appease the wrath of Sage Durvasa. And his reward for her service inextricably links her fate with that of the entire Kurujangala.

Delving into the youthful lives of the forerunners of the powerful Pandava and Kaurava dynasties, India’s epic storyteller is back with a magically woven and beautifully narrated series that is just as gripping as the ones before it.

DESCRIPTION:

The Kuru princes are now grown and as young men, engaged in their own battles.

But the threat of the demon Jarasandha still looms large. And this time, it is Pandu who must face his wrath. Ashok Banker is back with an enchanting new tale, flawlessly fusing history to magic in The Darkness Before Dawn, the second in the Mahabharata series.

Kunti, now married to Pandu, contemplates her future, still unable to come to terms with her decisions of the past. Overcome with remorse, she seeks solace in the holy waters of the Ganga never guessing that the son she gave up was even then causing a stir in her own kingdom.

Oblivious to the mischief afoot in Hastinapur, Pandu is on a mission to purge Rajagriha of the devil’s presence. But even with his prodigious skills in battle, will he be able to fell the mad king Driddha? Or will the ghosts of his past stop him?

The Bhagwadgita comprises seven hundred verses and has guided us over generations. This book focuses on seventy verses, which, the author believes, form the core of what Shri Krishna told Arjun at the Kurukshetra battlefield. Each chapter begins with a Sanskrit verse, which is followed by its literal translation. The wisdom of each of those is then eloquently expounded. This book doesn’t confine itself to explaining the verses and the philosophy of the Bhagwadgita alone; it shows us how to apply these tenets in everyday life through lucid examples. Effectively, it teaches us how to resolve our problems, improve social relations, enrich our souls and make our journey worthwhile.
