About the exhibition

She nurtures and protects; she provides but can also destroy. Shakti, the divine feminine energy of the Goddess, is both multiform and multifaceted. Across Hindu artistic traditions, artists have interpreted and visualized her various forms from literary texts, oral traditions and popular mythology. Through their creative agency, Shakti comes to life on the painted surface and is transformed by artistic vision and skill.

The exhibition, "Shaktirupa: Goddess as Imagined by the Artists" presents carefully curated paintings, drawings, and manuscripts from the Kasturbhai Lalbhai Collection and N C Mehta Collection, alongside folios from the Durga Saptashati manuscript housed at the Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Institute of Indology. Explore these artworks in dialogue with their textual sources and creators, and immerse yourself in the artists' imagination through excerpts and a multisensory experience.
