Trinity

Description: This painting is a profound representation of the Divine Mother in her three principal roles: creation, preservation, and destruction. Each of these roles is depicted through three faces that share a single eye, symbolizing the interconnected and indispensable nature of these cosmic functions.

Creation: The face on the left holds a lotus, the timeless symbol of creation and purity. The lotus, rising from the mud to bloom in pristine beauty, signifies the birth of the universe from the primordial waters.

Preservation: The central face is gentle and nurturing, with two open palms extended in a gesture of protection and sustenance. This aspect of the Divine Mother embodies the role of preserving and nurturing all life, ensuring the ongoing balance and harmony of existence.

Destruction: The face on the right is fierce and powerful, holding a trident. This aspect represents destruction, the necessary force that clears the way for new creation and transformation, maintaining the cyclical nature of the universe.

The Divine Mother’s effigy is strategically placed at the centre of a sacred geometric star, symbolizing the harmonious union of her three roles within the cosmos. Each edge of the star is adorned with an akshara, or syllable, from the Navarna mantra, one of the most sacred and powerful mantras in Goddess worship in Hinduism. This mantra is known for its profound spiritual significance and its ability to invoke the presence and blessings of the Divine Mother.

The use of vibrant colours and intricate detailing brings to life the dynamic energy and divine essence of the Mother. Her shared eye emphasizes the unity and inseparability of creation, preservation, and destruction, portraying them as different facets of a single divine power.
