Finally got around to some artwork for Yinepu! This was inspired by a scene in the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods” with Anubis and a recently deceased individual. I tried to capture the mystical feeling that the story imparted. Hopefully it worked! Prints available here.

Statue of the Ancient Egyptian God Ptah

The “Saptamatrikas” (Seven Mothers) are a group of goddesses depicted together & worshipped as the source of power (shakti) to several major deities. They helped originate the concept of feminine creative power and are known for being goddesses of war and emancipation. They aide in the fight against evil and are known for their inauspicious qualities. The Matrikas series reimagines these goddesses in the modern world, with an emphasis on fashion. 

From top to bottom:

1. “Kaumari”: Goddess of war. She rides a peacock and is shown with 4 arms holding various objects such as a bow, spear, axe, and coins.

2. “Maheshwari”: Maheshwari rides a bull & represents the power of transformation.

3. “Vaishnavi”: Goddess of protection & restoration. She is seen riding an eagle with hands in the Varada mudra position (lower right hand). This hand position is the “blessings” hand gesture.

4. “Chamunda”: Chamunda is the power of goddess Chandi. She is said to be ferocious by nature and inaccessible because of her anger. She hates evil doers and slays them without mercy. Often associated with Kali ma, you can think of her as Kali’s lesser known little sister. 

5. “Varahi”: Preserver of the Earth. She’s depicted with a boar’s head, sometimes carrying land on her tusks. She grants boons and is a regent of the Northern direction. She can also be associated as a goddess of death who rides a buffalo.

6. “Brahmani”: Goddess of creation. She’s depicted with 4 heads (like lord Brahma), yellow in color, and rides on a swan as her vehicle of choice.
