About Bhairavi (Parvati A Mahavidya of Devi) c1885 Vintage Bengal School Art Indian Goddess Poster
Bhairavi is one of the ten Mahavidyas or great manifestations of Devi (deified aspects of the goddess that range from pacific to ferocious). Devi Bhairavi holds a book in her lower left hand and a mala in her upper right (here hidden within a small bag that covers the end of her hand). The garland of skulls around her neck hints at the terrible nature of this goddess who is the female aspect of Bhairava, a ferocious form of Shiva. Here she is shown as a calm and beautiful woman in a mountain landscape. The demeanor of the figure speaks to her dual role as the peaceful Parvati, while her weapons allude to her terrible aspect. Bhairavi is credited with slaying the demons Sumbha and Nishumbha. The original Chromolithographic print on paper was published in 1885 in Calcutta Art Studio, BowBazar and is in the style of the Bengal School of Art. About the Posters
