Nine Faces of Durga Shakti - Warrior Goddess Divine Feminine Healing Artwork - Set of Nine Original Navaratri Paintings

from $2,700.00

Celebrate the power and creative force of the Divine Feminine with these hand-rendered illustrations of the fiercely loving Hindu Warrior Mother Goddess Durga in her many faces and expressions of Shakti, the feminine principle of divine energy, created over three consecutive observances of the bi-annual nine-night celebration of Durga, Navaratri.

As Divine Mother and Warrior Protectress, Durga’s presence and energy invites our own transcendence beyond the binary- into more emergent ways of being and relating with ourselves, and the world around us.

—

The Nine Faces of Durga are available as a set of Nine, or as a set of Ten, with Guardian Tigress 8”x10” original acrylic painting as anchor of completion and new beginnings.

Each illustration features raw edges and measures approximately 4”x6”, matted to lightweight foam core and 300gsm black paper, ready to custom frame as a set, or frame individually.

Materials: professional grade gouache, ink, and gold gilding on handmade paper crafted from Artist Way morning pages in Martha’s Vineyard.

Witness the process of creating the handmade paper for these canvas, and the unfoldment of these Goddesses, in this video.

These paintings were created in correspondence with the teachings of the late Sally Kempton (Jan 15, 1943 - July 10, 2023) teacher and author of Awakening Shakti.

Rotating clockwise from the lower left corner, the Navaratri journey begins with three nights of Durga as Kali Ma, Goddess of Purification, Regeneration, and Pure Creative Power,

three nights of Durga as Lakshmi, Goddess of Abundance, Prosperity, and Vibrant, Pulsating Life Force,

and the final three nights of Durga as Saraswati, Goddess of Language, Learning, Wisdom, Poetry, Music, & Divine Creativity.

During Navratri, devotees worship the nine faces of Durga, known as Navadurga, each representing different aspects of the divine feminine power (Shakti) across the nine days: Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri, symbolizing spiritual journey from innocence to ultimate wisdom and blessings. 

Here are the nine forms and their general significance:

  1. Shailaputri: The daughter of the mountains; represents innocence, new beginnings, and devotion.

  2. Brahmacharini: The one who practices devout austerity; symbolizes knowledge, focus, and spiritual discipline.

  3. Chandraghanta: The warrior with a half-moon on her forehead; embodies courage, protection, and the destruction of evil.

  4. Kushmanda: The creator of the universe; represents cosmic energy, creation, and the source of life.

  5. Skandamata: The mother of Skanda (Kartikeya); signifies motherhood, protection, and selfless love.

  6. Katyayani: The warrior daughter of Sage Katyayana; embodies strength, valor, and righteousness.

  7. Kalaratri: The fierce form who brings an end to darkness; represents fearlessness, justice, and destroying negativity.

  8. Mahagauri: The radiant and peaceful one; symbolizes purity, serenity, and the fulfillment of desires.

  9. Siddhidatri: The bestower of supernatural powers (Siddhis); embodies ultimate wisdom, perfection, and spiritual attainment.
