This print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Moudevi, Goddess of Discord and Misery" created by Pierre Sonnerat in 1782. Sonnerat, a renowned French naturalist and explorer, beautifully captures the essence of this Hindu deity through his meticulous engraving technique. In this vibrant image, Moudevi is depicted riding gracefully on a donkey while clad in a traditional saari. The crow or carrion bird serves as her emblematic symbol, representing both discord and misery. As the goddess of these tumultuous forces, she holds immense power over human emotions.

From the intricate patterns adorning Moudevi's sari to the fluttering flag behind her, each element adds depth and richness to the overall composition. The historical significance of this piece cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Hindu mythology and its pantheon of deities worshipped for centuries.
