This Pahari painting depicts a scene from the devotional text Devi Mahatmya. Pahari paintings were made by the artists of Himalayan Мountain Кingdoms. Here Devi Durga riding on the lion-killing demon Mahisasur. Mahisasur takes the form of a man from buffalo but Durga cuts him to shreds with arrows and breaks his sword and shield. This is Goddess Durga’s war on evil. Devi means Goddess in Sanskrit. Durga is the mother goddess in the Hindu pantheon. She is depicted as having multiple arms allowing her to protect all from every direction. Here Durga is in her full battle mode, arms swirling, hands clasping and an array of weapons and demons falling to bloody death. Also saw Garuda the giant bird carrying Vishnu and Lakshmi watching the battle. Yoginis and Bhairavas help her in her battle. Dimensions: 12 x 7 3/4 in., (30.5 x 19 cm.) Very good overall.

An Indian Sikh school miniature painting of a Sikh Maharajah court scene. The history of Sikh paintings goes back to the 16th century when the Suba of Lahore flourished under the Mughals. Maharana Ranjit Singh defeated the rulers of Kangra and captured the Punjab hills area. So many Pahari school artists accepted the patronage of the Sikh ruler. The areas of Punjab, Amritsar and Lahore produced many sets of paintings that had the flavor of Pahari paintings. Many painters of Alwar and Jaipur also painted on Sikh subjects. Dimensions: 10 1/4 x 13 1/4 in., (26 x 33.5 cm.) The miniature is in very good condition. The paper is well-preserved. Minor stains and signs of age.
