Srimati paints in water colours, in what can be termed the classical style……The inspiration for this is the Ajanta cave paintings near Bombay-frescoes dating back to the sixth and seventh century of this era. Sandglass, 1966.

Loved this post Anu. The Goddess manifests in many ways, yet her expressiveness always shines through! Mayumi Oda’s image of Benzaiten is particularly beautiful and inspiring…
Thanks Mardi. Saraswati is my “ishta devata” and I was looking for different representations of her. The Oda image was definitely the pick of the lot-it invokes so many feelings.
