The tiger serves as a Vahana (mount) for the Hindu goddess Durga, a strong and protective mother goddess. Being her mount, the animal is associated with power and strength. This oil on canvas painting by Karthik titled "Tiger in the Woods" is a masterpiece that immerses viewers in the enigmatic realm of the jungle and brings the beholder face to face with the majesty of tigers. The artist has maintained a strong hold on the brush and brought fine lines to depict the regal poise of the tiger. Amidst the shadows and verdant hues, the painting reflects the inherent balance between strength and vulnerability, urging us to embrace our primal instincts and find harmony amidst the untamed wilderness of existence.
