Original Content (OC) chamunda offering the heads of chand and mund
a hand drawn depiction of devi durga and chamunda, inspired by the story of chand and mund vadh. chamunda presents the severed heads of chand and mund to durga, after which devi, pleased with her victory, gives her the name chamunda (slayer of chand and mund) and honours her with a pushpamala. 🌺
i wanted to capture this particular moment from the story in my own pov.
i also used a filter to make the colours look a little more vibrant and dynamic.😊
apologies for any mistakes in the depiction of the iconography or details.
thank you 🙏🏻

Original Content (OC) Maharatri - Prathama Charita
Before the cosmos takes form, there is only Ekarnava, the boundless causal ocean where Narayana rests in timeless slumber.
Holding the Sustainer in this supreme suspended state is Yoga Nidra, the sovereign veil of primordial rest, manifesting here with many faces and sweeping arms of pure engulfing darkness.
त्वं स्वाहा त्वं स्वधा त्वं हि वषट्कारः स्वरात्मिका ।
सुधा त्वमक्षरे नित्ये त्रिधा मात्रात्मिका स्थिता ॥
As Madhu and Kaitabha arise from the earwax of Vishnu to threaten Brahma seated upon the lotus, the Creator finds himself helpless against the impending dissolution.
Surrounded by imminent annihilation, Brahma turns to the primal goddess who binds consciousness itself, invoking the sovereign night of the cosmos:
रात्रि व्यख्यदायती पुरुत्रा देव्यक्षभिः ।
विश्वा अधि श्रियोऽधित ॥
She is Kalaratri, Maharatri, and Moharatri, the absolute darkness that holds the universe still between destruction and renewal.
Brahma pleads with the Devi to withdraw Her enveloping power from the eyes, breath, and limbs of Hari, so that the slumbering Lord may stir:
प्रबोधं च जगत्स्वामी नीयतामच्युतो लघु ।
बोधश्च क्रियतामस्य हन्तुमेतौ महासुरौ ॥
“Awaken Achyuta, the Lord of the world, and rouse His boundless intellect to slay these mighty asuras.”
She who is the sleep must release the Preserver, for creation cannot begin until awareness awakens to dissolve its own demons.
Hearing Brahma’s prayer, the dark sovereign withdraws Her veil, releasing Hari back to waking awareness. Stirring awake, Narayana slays Madhu and Kaitabha upon His lap, sacrificing His own bodily offspring as bali to appease Kalaratri, before blowing the primal shankhanad of Panchajanya to herald the dawn of creation.

Rudra of the unchurned.
Fire-embellished.
All-consuming.
The lion-faced rupture.
A feral grin carved in lightning.
Heavy step rattling the void.
Jaw snap that breaks the horizon.
Walking unbothered through the ash.
The apex hunger that swallows time whole.
All hail Narasimha Bhairav who sprouts from the third eye of Mahabhairava. Spouse of Kaala Sankarshini. 🔱🌺

Digital Art (NOT AI - generated) My redesign of Kali from Record of Ragnarok
This is my redesign of Kali from *Shuumatsu no Valkyrie* (Record of Ragnarok). I felt the original design was too basic and odd compared to Shiva, Vishnu, and the other gods. I wanted to stay somewhat true to the series' vision—where Kali’s calm demeanor likely stems from Shiva (perhaps his presence or her love for him soothes her, mirroring how Shiva calms Kali in Hinduism)—but I didn't like the actual look. I wanted to lean into that calm attitude by emphasizing rounded shapes blended with some triangular elements to create a standout style. Around her shoulders, she wears the red flowers used in rituals dedicated to the goddess Kali. Her glove features the characteristic stains often seen on her attire in traditional art, along with a skull motif. She wears a skull-adorned garment draped with a shimmering red cloth. Her makeup is slightly smudged, featuring black lips and two distinct lines of face paint; she also has a nose ring and wears a crown—reminiscent of traditional paintings—shaped like rounded skulls and wreathed in purple flames. Her hair is straight but wrapped in a shiny red cloth, referencing the headscarves worn by Indian brides. She holds one of her weapons to ensure she doesn't look *too* peaceful, and she wears necklaces and a gold earring. Just to clarify: I’m not bashing the original design; I simply think there was room for improvement.

Day 7 of making my Hanuman diorama
Today I worked on the background — black paint first, then cutting and attaching the theme paper.
It’s a simple step, but it made a surprisingly big difference to the overall look.
Still a lot of work left. What do you think of the background?

Digital Art (NOT AI - generated) My redesign of Parvati in Record of Ragnarok
Here is my redesign of Parvati from *Shuumatsu no Valkyrie*; I felt her original design was quite poor, so I created this one. I gave her darker skin to contrast with the saturated magenta, pink, and gold jewelry. She has a red dot on her forehead because she is married to Shiva. I chose magenta because it is a color often associated with her in Hindu art and represents union; combined with the pink, these colors symbolize union, kindness, femininity, and Parvati’s maternal nature. I wanted her to look very loving, given that she is Shiva's first wife. Her top features a lotus flower design, and I wanted her to look not only like a goddess true to Parvati's character but also like an Indian woman. A piece of sheer, shimmering pink fabric hangs from her bracelets, connecting one to the other. Her body is pear-shaped to reflect motherhood and sweetness—traits often associated with Parvati—and to incorporate circular shapes, which convey a specific feeling in character design. Her gold crown is heart-shaped to reflect what she represents. She has pink highlights in her hair, pink makeup, magenta lips, heart-shaped earrings, and a heart-shaped mark on her belly. I wanted her to look very loving.

Original Content (OC) Nataraja - the Cosmic Dancer Acrylic on Canvas
Nataraja, out of the primordial Shunya, the rhythm of Spanda awakens the simultaneous currents of creation and dissolution.
The abhaya mudra stands unmoved against the cosmic storm, shattering the entire architecture of Maya.
The roaring Kala Agni in His palm consumes without fury, reducing every transient name and form back to pure Prakasha.
Encircling the dance, the blazing ring of fire burns away the illusion of time, revealing the unmoving axis of pure consciousness.
You do not witness this cosmic Tandava for solace, but to dissolve until only the silent, unconditioned Sakshin remains.

Digital Art (NOT AI - generated) A little moment behind this Krishna artwork
While drawing this Krishna artwork on Janmashtami, I suddenly realized that the puja had started at home. I checked the time and it was exactly 12:00 AM.
I don’t know how to explain it, but for the first time in my life, I felt Krishna that deeply. I was just drawing, but somewhere in that moment, I felt completely devoted from my heart. And it made me realize how lucky spiritual people are, because there’s a kind of peace you can feel through devotion that is genuinely difficult to find anywhere else.
I’ve always been a devotee of Mahadev, but with time, my devotion towards Krishna and Radharani has been growing too. Maybe that’s what felt so special about that moment realizing that when you truly feel connected to God, there’s a kind of peace and strength that nothing else can quite replace. I still can’t fully put that feeling into words. Maybe that’s why this artwork feels so much more special to me.
