Have a look at the picures below which show how the painting has progressed in the last two days.

Once the base colours were applied, the detailed work began! While Purnendu worked on the eyes, Dibyendu began attaching some of the decorations brought with them from India around the outside, framing the Goddesses beautifully.

Gosod border disglair o amgylch y ddelw. Ystyrir y lliw coch i fod yn lwcus gan bobl India, ac mae gan rhai Duwiau a Duwiesau Hindŵaidd ddwylo coch i ddangos eu duwdod.

The artists had also brought with them a frieze they had made at home which surrounds Durga's head and torso. The frieze shows the stories from Durga and Shiva's life.

It is really exciting to see the progress and all the images coming so colourful. An unique oppurtunity to see the artwork and tradition behind this important Hindu custom. Museum has shown great effort in making this successful.
Reading through the comment book outside Oriel 1 gives an insight into support and appreciation of local as well as many distant visitors of the Museum.
