This Stunning Grain Portrait Of Goddess Durga Is A Navratri Showstopper

The fervour surrounding Navratri is truly remarkable. This vibrant festival honours Goddess Durga, who defeated the demon king Mahishasura. During Navratri, devotees immerse themselves in festive devotion, seeking blessings from the goddess and her nine avatars

This year, the festivities of Navratri began on October 3 and will conclude on October 12 with Dussehra. Amid the vibrant spirit of the festival, a recent highlight is a stunning portrait of Maa Durga made entirely from grains.

Shared on Reddit, this eye-catching artwork is anything but ordinary. The intricately detailed portrait features Maa Durga’s face which was skillfully created using various types of grains. Placed on a steel plate and set atop a banana leaf, the portrait is surrounded by bowls of different grains, giving it a more striking appearance.

The caption accompanying the pictures reads, “Made Maa Durga Portrait with Grains, Happy Navratri!”

The post struck a chord with social media users, sparking a wave of admiration for the remarkable creativity behind it.

Commenting on the picture, a user wrote, “Omg you’re damn talented! This is so beautiful,” while another added, “Best post I saw on Reddit today! Happy Navratri!”

“So Beautiful. I wish people follow those old principles that made us strong back then,” a person chimed in.

“My first instinct was, is it AI generated? Awesome art though, love it,” read a reply.

Comments of admiration continued with lively remarks like, “This is stunning,” “Really well done,” “It’s so pretty” and “That’s some serious talent.”

Meanwhile, a curious Redditor asked, “How many hours it took?,” to which the user responded with, “Maybe around 8-9.”

Recently, renowned Chef Vikas Khanna also shared a beautiful artwork of Maa Durga on his Instagram. The video showcased a portrait of Maa Durga beautifully crafted by him and his team. While Chef Khanna sketched the portrait, his talented team helped bring it to life.

The artwork was unveiled in a touching ceremony attended by Pushpa Sabharwal and Neerja Patel, whom Chef Khanna described as his “favourite family members.”

Khanna had been teasing his followers about this special piece for quite some time. The reveal was particularly meaningful, coinciding with the 200-day anniversary of his restaurant Bungalow in New York City.
