Chhinnamastika (Chhinnamunda, Prachanda Chandika, Jogani Maa)
This a stunning original hand-painted Newari Paubha-style Chhinnamasta Thangka, a highly revered piece of art that beautifully blends Hindu and Buddhist traditions. This unique artwork features Chhinnamasta, a fierce Hindu goddess known for her severed head, part of the Mahavidyas, the ten goddesses in the esoteric Tantra tradition.
In this captivating piece, Chhinnamasta is depicted either standing or seated upon a divine couple, symbolizing the union of opposites. She holds her severed head in one hand and a scimitar in the other, with three streams of blood emerging from her neck, nourishing her head and two attendants. This striking imagery captures the dual nature of Chhinnamasta as both a giver and taker of life. Rich in symbolism, Chhinnamasta embodies concepts of sexual self-control and potent sexual energy, representing both life and death, destruction and rebirth. She serves as a powerful emblem of spiritual self-realization and the awakening of kundalini, the dormant spiritual energy within us. The legends surrounding her emphasize themes of self-sacrifice, maternal elements, and self-destructive fury, making this painting a profound reflection on existence and the divine. **Specifications:** - Inner Painting Size: 17.8 x 24 inches (45 x 61 cm), excluding outer border - Material: Handmade Cotton Canvas - Colors: Stone and Natural Tones Don’t miss your chance to own this thought-provoking masterpiece!
