Har Har Mahadev..

Some requests keep ringing in your mind and you tend to loose your sleep. This is what happened when my friend's son started nagging me for a Shiva painting. It was nagging in real sense...wherever we meet  he will be just after me...gradually, I could sense that I cannot just avoid his request, else it will be a sacrilege on my part. The boy will lose trust forever which I didn't want at all....I decided to work on this instead...I wanted to see his happy face.

Nagging boy..

Jalkandeshwar temple in Vellore has a beautiful mural showing a little boy, probably Lord Krishna nagging his mother while she looks annoyed. I was fascinated by how a mother's vulnerability is shown in a moment's gesture.

Hariti

The demoness turned goddess' story has it origin at the Andhra region of South India where she is still worshipped as a local deity called Erukamma...how did she end up being a Buddhist goddess is probably another story...

The Eternal bond...

The relation of a mother with her child has all the nuances that life can offer...The bond is so strong and beautiful that no other relationship can surpass its beauty or strength.

Need I say anything about the bond between Maa Durga and Ganapati? It's eternal......
