October 11 20112011-10-11Goddess DeviA painted graphic artwork of Lord Shiva seated cross-legged on a tiger-skin mat against a cosmic purple and blue starry background with a glowing Sri Yantra of interlocking triangles behind him. Shiva has blue skin, a crescent moon and tied hair crest, matted locks, and a cobra coiled around his arm. He wears rudraksha malas, a leopard-print cloth and a red sash, and raises his right hand in blessing. A trident leans beside him and a damaru drum rests at his side, with a kalasha-like shivalinga vessel in the foreground. A small bird flies in the upper left. The image is a devotional deity illustration, not a photograph of people.2014-02-27December 31 20102010-12-31Goddess laxmiMarch 13 20132013-03-13A painted cutout figure of a blue-skinned deity seated in lotus-style cross-legged pose on a tiger skin, shown in a dark indoor hall.
