EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty and divine presence of the "Goddess with Fly Whisk" sculpture from the Didarganj Patna culture, dating back to 300 BC. Crafted in polished sandstone by an unknown Indian artist from the 4th century BC, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 163 cm. The goddess depicted in this artwork represents a significant figure in religious beliefs and practices of South Asia. Adorned with intricate details, her feminine form exudes grace and power. The voluptuous curves and prominent bosom symbolize fertility and abundance, while her serene expression radiates tranquility. The fly whisk held delicately in her hand signifies authority and protection against evil forces. As a deity worshipped within Hinduism, she embodies qualities such as strength, wisdom, and compassion that devotees seek to emulate. This remarkable stone sculpture is not only a testament to ancient craftsmanship but also serves as a visual representation of devotion towards spiritual beliefs. Its cultural significance extends beyond its artistic value; it offers us glimpses into the rich tapestry of Indian history and mythology. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph by Dirk Bakker allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this sacred artifact without commercial intentions or restrictions on usage rights. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of ancient deities and explore their profound influence on South Asian culture throughout centuries past.
