Title
Durga killing the buffalo demon
Description
Orissa, probably from Konarak. Durga, the fierce form of the consort of Shiva, is the personification of the energies of all the gods. In her eight hands she carries their weapons in her assault on the demon Mahisha. Here the demon's buffalo head has been struck fromits body and lies on the ground as the goddess impales him with her trident. Her lion vehicle or ‘vahana’ gnaws on the knee of the vistim. The curved knife carried ba the demon resembles the ‘khanjarli’.
