Mahishashurmardini
Inspired by the terracotta temple plaques of Guptipara, this illustration depicts Devi Durga with her children—Devi Lakshmi, Devi Saraswati, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kartick—following the Bengali tradition. At the centre, Durga is shown defeating Mahishasura. The composition blends architectural influence with Alpana-inspired motifs, celebrating both narrative and ornamentation in a folk aesthetic.
