Nine Avtar's of Durga - Nine Colors - Nine Inspirations

India has been a treasure trove of culture and spiritual guidance, defining the very essence of feminism in the history of the world. Durga is the embodiment of that very philosophy a dynamic amalgamation of all that which makes the feminine a power that surpasses all. The strength of that divinity lies in the various colors that come together to form a single identity which is a combination of a myriad of identities possible only in that creation which we call woman.

My effort will be to do justice to those nine colors which represent  nine personalities wrapped in an existence of one.  An ode to the life of a woman you and me. 

The First Embodiment - Shailaputri

Shaila - Mountain - Putri - Daughter - She is the physical representation of mother nature, the very rock on which earth sustains itself without her this world would be nothing but dust. From the brown earth rises the flora that sustains us. Hence the color brown is synonymous with sustenance.

Brown color in a sari can be a tad boring but combine it with Kantha work and the sari transforms into a live dynamic creation which adds oodles of charm and grace to your persoanlity.
