नमस्तेऽस्तु महारौद्रे महाघोरपराक्रमे।
महाबले महोत्साहे महाभयविनाशिनि॥
“I bow down to the supremely valiant, powerful, She who bestows strength and vigor, She whose might annahilates all fears.” Lines from the powerful “Devi Kavacham”, sing the glory of Devi, goddess Durga, who is envisioned in this oil on canvas as a cosmic force, an omnipresent power whose presence can only be experienced. The countenance of Devi Durga, depicted on the canvas glows partly with the light of the Sun, highlighting her lotus eyes, fine facial features and a Sindoor smeared forehead. Even with only half her face visible, the gaze of the goddess is rivetingly beautiful. Keeping the other half in the dark, Paul Chiranjit seems to be alluding to the spiritual experience of awakening the Shakti, the supreme goddess in one’s heart, where Devi slowly unveils her cosmic beauty, as captured in this mesmerizing oil on canvas.
