A rare iconographic form of the
divine feminine shakti, this figure is not easy to
identify, as the work appears to be a unique blending of both
Vaishnava (worshiping Vishnu) and Shaiva (worshiping Shiva)
imagery. However, the central figure, sitting on an over-sized
skull cup, wields some of the common attributes of Siddhalakshmi:
a sword, wheel, vase, jewels, and trident. Above the central
figure, riding on a stylized Garuda, is a green multi-armed
Vishnu, along with his consort Lakshmi. Above these two, in
the smallest niche at the top of the temple, sit Shiva and Parvati,
the supreme couple of the painting. Their elephant-headed son,
Ganesha, and possibly his consort, yet another form of shakti,
float in the sky above, flanked on both sides by four different
depictions of Durga.
