Durga – The Divine Play of Innocence

"Durga" beautifully captures a moment of divine play and innocence in a village in 24 Parganas (South), where the essence of motherhood and devotion intertwine. In a society where all girls are revered as Mothers and all mothers as Durga, this image immortalizes the powerful connection between goddess Durga and the young hearts of the future.

The photograph was taken at a local idol-making workshop, where the artisans had momentarily stepped away. Two young girls, unaware of the pause in the process, began playing with the unfinished Durga idol. In their hands, the goddess of power, compassion, and protection became alive—reflecting both childhood innocence and the divine feminine energy that Durga represents.

This candid moment beautifully portrays the natural bond between the divine and the human, offering a visual celebration of motherhood, devotion, and the strength that resides within every girl. The idol, though still incomplete, symbolizes the power of Durga in the hearts of young souls, who, like the goddess, will one day bring strength, protection, and compassion to the world.
