Album of popular prints mounted on cloth pages. Colour lithograph, lettered, inscribed and numbered 28. The goddess Jagadhatri is seen complete with all her iconographical signs: her four hands display a conch, a discus, a shaft, and a bow. She is portrayed upon her lion mount; the lion is astride an elephant. The worship of Jagadhatri is popular in Bengal, and the myth that surrounds her bears similarities to that of Durga.

1895 (circa)

JAGADHATRI on Lion, Early Calcutta Chromo Lithographed at Bengal Art Studio, Muktaram Babu Street,Chorebagan Calcutta

Interesting that the lion has a nearly human face.

Very special Pew Simon! Bhalo theko, Shubho Bijoya!

So is Jagadhatri another form of Durga?
