The Indian Deities in Kalighat by Hasir Chitrakar

This stunning Kalighat painting by Hasir Chitrakar vividly depicts the divine pantheon of Hindu Deities shown in multple panels within a single canvas. The center is occupied by Mahishasura Mardini, the fierce form of Goddess Durga slaying the buffalo demon, Mahishasura. At the center, Durga is portrayed in a striking red and white attire, adorned with intricate jewelry and a crown, symbolizing her divine power. She has multiple arms, each wielding different weapons, representing the strength bestowed upon her by various gods. She rides her majestic lion, who fiercely attacks the bull, a symbol of the subdued Mahishasura, shown in the human form beneath her feet, struggling against her divine might. Surrounding Durga are the prominent deities of Hindu mythology—Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Kartikeya, Shiva, and Brahma—each depicted with their signature attributes and vahanas, reinforcing the celestial support for Durga’s battle. The artwork follows the traditional Kalighat style, characterized by bold lines, flat colors, and expressive facial features, creating a sense of dynamism and spiritual intensity. The background is minimal, ensuring that the focus remains on the divine figures, particularly Durga’s supreme power over evil. The meticulous detailing, from the delicate floral motifs on her dress to the expressive eyes of each deity, showcases the artist’s mastery. The painting’s red border enhances the intensity of the scene, while the white sacred thread-like detailing over the composition adds an ethereal glow. Hasir Chitrakar’s rendering of this mythological event encapsulates the cultural and spiritual essence of Bengal’s Kalighat tradition, making it a mesmerizing piece of devotional art.
