WOMB OF TIME

Each painting is an invitation to experience the sacred dance of life that the Devi orchestrates. The bold, flowing forms and intricate textures embody her dynamic energy, her creative impulse that manifests in myriad forms. The palette, ranging from fiery reds to tranquil blues, echoes her many facets — from the fierce protector to the compassionate mother, from the fierce warrior to the serene nurturer. The inclusion of Shiva highlights the delicate balance between masculine and feminine energies, a harmony achieved through creation and destruction, embodying a dance of divine equilibrium. This portrayal of the Divine Masculine complements the Devi’s nurturing essence, underscoring the interdependence of these forces in sustaining the cosmos. The Shree Yantra, depicted in 24-carat gold, is the focal point of the exhibition, symbolizing the cosmos and the divine feminine energy. This sacred geometric pattern embodies the unity of masculine and feminine principles, with the upward triangles representing Shiva (masculine) and the downward triangles symbolizing Shakti (feminine). Converging at the bindu, the central point of creation where all existence begins, the Shree Yantra invokes the blessings of Ashtalakshmi, the eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each representing a unique aspect of prosperity and well-being: Adi Lakshmi, primeval prosperity; Dhana Lakshmi, wealth; Dhanya Lakshmi, harvest and abundance; Gaja Lakshmi, strength and royalty; Santana Lakshmi, progeny; Veera Lakshmi, courage; Vijaya Lakshmi, victory; and Vidya Lakshmi, knowledge and education. The gold in the painting reflects the eternal and divine nature of these blessings, transforming the Shree Yantra into a meditative focal point that invites the energies of creation, abundance, and harmony into all aspects of life. “As you journey through "Womb of Time," may you connect with the eternal rhythm of the Devi’s presence, the source of all creation and the ultimate refuge. In the auspiciousness of Navratri, may these artworks serve as a reminder of her omnipotent grace and her love that envelops us all”, says Jalpa H Vithalani, Founder Cosmic Heart Gallery.
