  • How To Know If You Are Buying Original Or Counterfeit Art - There are plenty of reasons to invest in fine art. They add life and character to a space and can evoke different emotions. They can also be an interesting subject of conversation when someone visits your home or workplace. But how do you make sure you are to buy original art paintings?

    Do your research. Especially if it’s your first time buying original fine art paintings, take the time to research and educate yourself about the art industry. If you admire a specific artist, check the latest news about them and research their previous works. This will be easier for you to identify their signature style.

    Take a close look at the painting. A careful, physical assessment is essential before buying any artwork. Check the placement and style of the artist’s signature. Inspect the frame and the piece itself for traces of brush bristles (fakes ones have those). Look at the back as well because it can contain vital information (such as owner stamps and auction labels).

    Get it appraised. If the art piece you’re investing in is quite costly, it’s safer to have it professionally appraised first. Because of its high value, forgers are highly likely to take the opportunity to sell a counterfeit version of it.

    Ask for an authenticity certificate. This is a must-do if you plan to buy original fine art paintings. Along with other provenance documentation, this certificate is a piece of strong evidence that what you’re buying is a real one. It’s required for dealers and galleries to give this together with the original painting.

    Request forensic test results. Though it’s not yet the norm in the industry, it doesn’t hurt to request reliable proof of an artwork’s authenticity. With modern technology, there are now different ways to check if a piece is original or counterfeit. If a dealer refuses to subject it to forensic tests, it’s a big sign for you to start looking for another seller.

    Buy from a credible gallery. Artworks have a niche market. And there are galleries (especially those found online) that take advantage of this by selling inauthentic pieces. To avoid buying one, you have to do your homework and search for a gallery with a good track record. Go over their collection, look for reviews, and check their affiliations or accolades. To further protect your transaction with a gallery, it’s recommended to create and ink a contract with them.

According to Sankhyadarshana (a system of Indian philosophy), it takes Purusha, the energy principle, and prakrti, the matter principle, to form life. What we perceive around us (drshyam) is but a confluence of these two. The former is represented by the masculine, while the latter is represented by the feminine. They are visualised as Lord Shiva and Devi Shakti, respectively. The painting that you see on this page is a union of the two, a composite Shivashakti figure, called Ardhanarishvara Oil Painting, which translates to the half-woman deity. Lord Shiva and the Devi Shakti are easily distinguishable. A loincloth is wrapped around His hips and clutches of rudraksha are His adornment. She is in a saree of auspicious vermillion color and wears gold jewelry, as befits her status as His wife and complement. He has a jatamukuta, upon which rests a sliver of the silver moon; upon her brow is a crown studded luxuriantly with the finest jewels in paraloka. He wields a trishool (trident) and she cradles a flushed lotus. Standing next to Him is the devoted bull Nandi, while her trusty simhavahana is to be found on her side. A softly glowing halo graces Ardhanarishvara's head. The riverine Devi Ganga emerges in her pristine, fluid beauty, straight into the lap of the glacial Himalayas in the background. Their sharp peaks and rugged bodies stand in sharp contrast to the soft blue streams that flow at their feet. (Added: Sat Jul 17 2021 Hits: 12 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0) Rate It

This Lord Ganesha marble sculpture is an absolute beauty to the eyes, its white color indicates its infinite purity and auspiciousness. Ganesha is the primary god, worshipped as an obstacle remover and a friend of all. Here he sits in Utkutasana on a blooming double lotus chowki with its base decorated at the circumference by a chain of golden-colored mice, happily playing dhapli while looking upwards to their lord. Chaturbhuja holds his iconic implements in the rear hands and anterior hands hold a laddoo and the other held in abhaya mudra of fearlessness. The pitambara dhoti is tied tight below the paunchy belly and green stole falls down from sides across the shoulders; ornamented extensively in beauteous golds and that realistic expression of his eyes accentuates his deepness and divineness. Zoom in to have a look at the trunk decorated elegantly, postured in a Vedampuri pose, eating laddoo and the unique patterned yellow-orange tilak that glows on his forehead between the high-brows. The exquisite white and gold parasol attached at the top of his throne covers his flower aureole crowned head, decorated with soothing shiny stones. This sculpture is sculpted out of a single piece of marble in absolute smoothness and accurate curves and cuts. A majestic Lord Ganesha is seated in the pistil of a lotus. His complexion is the color of milk, the stance of His legs in keeping with the attitude of a child. Indeed it is for the childlike innocence and wisdom of this boy-deity that He is the favorite of Hindoos and His parents Shiva-Parvati alike. In this supersmooth marble composition, Lord Ganesha has been depicted in all the majesty of His divine being. The chaturbhujadhari (four-armed) Lord is clad in dhoti and angavastram, the hem of the former barely reaching below the knees as is the fashion with little boys in India. His hands, legs, and torso are clad in solid gold ornaments, which complement the glamorous crown on His princely head. The same is studded with precious stones and set off by an embossed halo behind the head. A bejeweled parasol forms the zenith of the composition. The gaze of Lord Ganesha is one of solemnity and profound wisdom. As the son of Lord Shiva, He is omniscient and omnipotent. However, these aspects of His divinity does not lie in contrast with His love of laddoos, one of which sits in the palm of His anterior left hand, nuzzled by the tip of His trunk. Note the row of mice, His cosmic vahana, each holding up to their lord and master a delicious offering of a laddoo. (Added: Fri Jul 16 2021 Hits: 7 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0) Rate It
  • Arsenal fan’s fun book on Premier League birth - Love them or hate them, but football pundits take centre stage in a hilarious new novel by Arsenal fan Ross Paterson. The 49-year-old solicitor from South-East London took advantage of work drying up during the first lockdown to begin work on his first full-length novel. The talented writer, who has previously published an anthology of sports-related short stories, released Matchday in the spring to critical acclaim. Set in the 1992-93 season, at the outset of the Premier League, Ross’ hugely enjoyable romp takes plenty of pot shots at the game’s so-called experts. As ex-players queue up for a shot at providing their ‘expert’ opinions and analysis to the new, growing armchair audience, Matchday charts a pundit’s unpredictable rise to the top of the profession. Ross explained: “I have thought for a long time that football pundits were worthy of ridicule, being paid a lot of money for speaking the obvious. “I have been a football fan since I was a boy and have drawn on footballers over the years to create the characters. “Although the main plot of Matchday is fictitious, some of the storylines are based in part on true-life football events and incidents.” Matchday follows the fortunes of ambitious Clyde Benjamin who is hoping to forge a career as a pundit on the new satellite television channels. As an outspoken and provocative black pundit in a white man’s world, the former Wolverhampton Wanderers’ centre-forward is a striking new addition to the viewers’ television screens. With fans across the country lapping up the new television coverage, it would seem the future is bright for the pundit. But ruthless Clyde, who will go to any length to get the better of his ex-pro studio rivals, is set for a fall as a skeleton emerges from the cupboard. Ross explained: “Clyde has made an instant impact as a pundit at the dawn of the Premier League and satellite coverage.” “He sets out to destroy his rival pundits’ careers by whatever means.” “But his own feisty punditry soon sparks a feud with striker, Steve Collyer.” “And as Clyde’s career is on the up, a betrayed fan comes out of the woodwork seeking revenge.” The gripping Matchday has already attracted glowing reviews from captivated readers. Ross is currently considering bringing his pundit protagonist Clyde back for a sequel – this time as a fledgling manager. For more information, visit Amazon and search for Ross Paterson, where the paperback and Kindle versions of Matchday are both available.

  • New album by Denis Krupin. - The fifth album of the Russian multi-instrumentalist Denis Krupin "Path to Light" has just been released. Several famous musicians took part in the recording: Andrea Marcelli, Bob Mintser and Jerry Goodman. This album was created for those who are looking for light and warmth, depth and contemplation in music. Stylistically, this is airy jazz fusion with a slight touch of progressive rock. On the one hand, there is a rather bright shade of nostalgia in this record, throwing the listener back in those bright times when Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays were inseparable. On the other hand, this is an absolutely self-sufficient and mature work, which reflects Denis Krupin’s own vision of music. This album contains a whole kaleidoscope of human feelings. You just need to have time to follow them. Feelings, like the northern lights, shimmer from one color to another, appearing in different parts of the sky, sometimes completely unexpected. Symphony and semitones, thoughtfulness and space are the main ingredients of this album. Almost all the parts on this recording were played by Denis Krupin – these are guitars, keyboards and computer-programmed synthesizers. Andrea Marcelli succinctly and softly emphasizes the main line of compositions with his percussion, sometimes introducing himself into ready-made drum parts. Bob Mintzer appears on the recording only two times, in the compositions “An Hour Before Dawn” and “One Day Will Be True”, but how suddenly! It is as if the saxophone is not a metal instrument, but an artist’s brush. Just as suddenly, Bob leaves, brightening up the already rich palette of the album with his unique playing. Jerry Goodman expressively and recognizably bites with his violin into the structure of the composition “Fast Light”, decorating it and adding his own unique touch to it. Obviously, for each composition, the listener will form his own opinion. However, it is worth to separately mention the composition called “Twenty Seventh Of November”. It is dedicated to the memory of Lyle Mays, however, just like all the material on the album. Perhaps, this record will not make a strong impression on lovers of long improvisations and technically virtuoso passages. But those who are looking for romance, vibes and feelings in music should definitely familiarize themselves with it. The album leaves behind a long aftertaste and a lot of sensations: first of all, warmth and light, joy and hope. (Added: Thu Jul 15 2021 Hits: 8 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0) Rate It

When creation began to happen, the first ’form’ that it took was that of a Linga, hence ‘linga’ means ‘the form’. Mukhalinga, as the name says, means linga with a face; carved here in the visible four faces in all four cardinal directions and the fifth, invisible one, faces upwards emerging from the top of the shaft. A Pancha-Mukhalinga Shiva Linga Sculpture (linga with five faces of Shiva) represents Shiva’s five aspects- Mahadeva (east face), Uma (north face-face of Parvati), fire (south face), Nandi (west face), and Sadashiva (top face) and this icon of these five aspects represents the entire universe. This jade aventurine carved Mukhalinga is a visible form of the mantra ‘Namaha Shivaya’, where the five syllables of this mantra embody the five elements- air, water, fire, ether, and earth. Apart from it being carved as Mukhalinga, the two most enticing features of this sculpture are the green glossy carving in jade aventurine and the yoni formed with the face of Nandi (Shiva’s consort). Each of the faces carved on the linga is depicted with a serpent coiled around Shiva’s neck, a crescent moon adorned on the matted hair locks, and Ganga flowing out the form it along with a trident symbol in-between every face. Jade aventurine is identified by granting people good luck, health, and abundance which complies with Lingam’s worship of being known as an emblem of existence symbolic of the union of mind and soul. One may note that a Mukhalinga is composed of three parts- Brahma Bhaga (Bhoomi- the lowest part of the linga), Vishnu Bhaga (peetham- middle section), carved here in the form of a lotus pedestal, and Shiva Bhaga (pooja bhagam- topmost part of the shaft with a rounded top), carved here with the visible four faces on it, thus exemplifying the supremacy of Lord Shiva over Brahma and Vishnu. This transcendental reality of Shiva depicts him in a serene, calm, and majestic form, also symbolizing the union of Shiva and Parvati (yoni), thus resulting in aspects of creation and destruction.

  • London artist’s book helps cope with mental health - Less is more for focused artist and self-help author Sophie Rose Peters – particularly when it comes to improving mental-health. The London-based writer has penned several well received studies into living with conditions such as bi-polar disorder, shyness, and anxiety. But her latest guide to improving well-being looks to what is around us. Minimalism and Mental Illness: A Focus of the Mind is a deeply personal and highly convincing guide to decluttering. Sophie Rose explained: “Minimalism and Mental Illness: A Focus of the Mind is especially aimed at readers with mental illness and gently proposes a minimalist life and home. “It guides the reader through the benefits of this habit and encourages them to try it out for themselves and learn by doing. “It is a simple read, after all minimalism is itself simple and not complicated. “Once we discover how it focuses our minds, we may never look back. “It is not a magical solution to complex circumstances, but it is definitely one thing that has many worthwhile benefits for us.” Although the connection between minimalism and well-being has been established by previous authors and psychologists, Sophie Rose approaches decluttering from the perspective of someone suffering from a mental health condition. The 46-year-old has written openly in the past about her own bi-polar condition. And she provides strong testimony in Minimalism and Mental Illness: A Focus for the Mind to how creating exterior space leads to internal improvements. Sophie Rose added: “When we have a mental illness or a diagnosis we can benefit from all kinds of tools and practices to make our lives easier and our minds calmer. “Minimalism can be one such practice. “It can help to reduce clutter in our environment and give us a sense of peace. “Having a tidy surrounding is good for us and it is good our mental health. “But it is not that easy to do, and we need to be introduced to it – and here is where this book comes into its own.” Sophie Rose’s authoritative healing guides not only provide tips and support but also encourage readers to explore their own faith, spirituality and identity. As well as writing several beneficial books at her London studio, Sophie Rose also produces stunning paintings and book illustrations. For more information, visit Amazon and search for Sophie Rose Peters, where the paperback and kindle versions of Minimalism and Mental Illness: A Focus of the Mind are available.

The satisfactory smile represents his success over suppressing the evils from his devotees’ lives.

  • Ayurveda: - way of life - The word “Ayurveda” is derived from Sanskrit words ‘Ayuh (r)’ means life and ‘Veda’ means knowledge or science. Thus, Ayurveda is ‘Knowledge/Science of life’. Ayurveda has a rich history which is almost 5000 years old and have been recorded in Sanskrit, in the four sacred texts called the Vedas: the Rig Veda (3000-2500 BCE), Yajur Veda, Sam Veda, and Atharva Veda (1200-1000 BCE). In Ayurveda, a perfect healthy life is defined as "a balance between body, mind, spirit and social wellbeing." It believes that an individual’s mental, emotional and spiritual well being is all interconnected and any kind of imbalance between them results in various health disorders and diseases. However, Ayurveda's inter connectedness extends far beyond the individual, reaching into the universal co-existence with nature. The philosophy of Ayurveda emphasizes the unshakable connections between the internal body system and it’s day to day interactions with the outside world. The same can be understood from the below principles derived from various Ayurveda practices: All existence in the universe, both living and nonliving, are interconnected. They are actually made of the same five elements i.e. space, air, fire, water, and earth. There is a deeper connection between the self and the environment we live in. We as an individual interact with people surrounding us, to our immediate environment, and to the universe through our daily activities. This requires a balanced approach to ensure physical, social and mental well being. This balance is often disrupted by our lifestyles including choices about diet, exercise, profession, and relationships with the society and other beings. We are responsible for the choices we make and interactions we have with the nature. We can attain and maintain a perfect health if we make balanced choices that promote connectivity and harmony among all that exists in this universe. The concepts of Prakruti and Doshas (Pic 2: Representing concept of Doshas) Ayurvedic philosophy believes that every individual is born with a specific constitution of body known as the prakruti as a unique combination of physical and psychological characteristics leading to individual's physical makeup and personality. An individual's underlying prakruti remains the same always. However, it is greatly influenced by various internal, external, and environmental factors like social interactions, seasonal changes, diet, lifestyle choices, and many more. Ayurveda considers that three qualities, called doshas, form important characteristics of the prakruti, or constitution. These are named as Vata,Pitta, and Kapha, and each person has an individual, "unique" balance of all the three doshas. Most people have a combination of doshas, with one type usually being predominant.Any imbalance in doshas lead to manifestations of symptoms of a disease. Ayurveda as a practice Ayurveda is a holistic approach towards life. Various Ayurvedic practices can be considered to maintain good health, reduce stress, and improve flexibility, strength, and stamina of your body. Practices like yoga and meditation are very helpful for people with diseases such as asthma, stress, high blood pressure, arthritis etc. Ayurveda also stresses upon proper diet for maintaining a good health and disease-free life. ssDifferent Ayurvedic medicines are also prescribed and given based on the person's dosha type and imbalances observed. Different ways in which people use Ayurvedic medicine are as varied as the users. Many of them use it to complement or supplement their conventional allopathic treatments. They slowly switch to Ayurveda if they get better results. Various people "recharge” themselves through Ayurveda programs to get a renewed body and mind. Various others follow Ayurvedic diets and supplements to keep themselves naturally fit and disease free. Is Ayurveda Safe? Since the ages, Ayurveda has been in existence helping people live better and disease-free life. This clearly indicates that system has its own strength and well described in its texts. Like any other methods of treatment, we should always seek advice from a qualified, registered, and experienced practitioner to get the best result from Ayurveda. During the recent pandemic, various bodies including WHO has recognized Ayurveda as an alternative system of medicine which has its own advantages in preventing and curing various diseases and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Govt of India has a separate body named “AYUSH” to regulate and maintain alternative system of medicines in India with an aim to take it on Global stage. We have already achieved success in making “YOGA” a global phenomenon now. Time is not far for Ayurveda to get global recognition and respect it deserves since ages.

Here in the Exotic India Art collections, you will get the finest carved Statues and Sculptures which are handpicked for their uniqueness. This brilliant brass-statue of the elephant god Lord Ganesha, exceptional in its luster and magnificent in its beauty, represents him, though not without some variations, in his Kshipra Ganapati manifestation, the red-hued Lord quick in acting upon a prayer. Though not one of the earliest eight forms that texts perceived as prevailing over eight demons, symbolic of eight demonic natures in man or eight basic human weaknesses, Kshipra Ganapati is one of his thirty-two forms under which the early Puranas classified him. Inclusive of the early eight these thirty-two forms related to various other aspects, especially his nature, his effectiveness, power over disruptive forces, quickness to act in granting a boon or accomplishing a prayer, and overall effectiveness as the ultimate divine power. The red-hued Ganapati Brass Statue, red indexing his youthful vigor and great energy, the essential attributes of Kshipra Ganapati, manifests him as one who acts with utmost quickness in his grants. The quickness of Kshipra Ganapati is not revealed in any of his bodily acts or demeanor, which better reflects in his forms like Nratya Ganapati or Simha Ganapati, but in his effectiveness, his power, and intent to effect. “Kshipra’ is one of the epithets that the Rig-Veda attributes also to Lord Vishnu as this earliest text, equating him with the sun, or alternating the sun and Vishnu mutually, perceived him as fast-moving spanning the universe in three strides. The subsequent Puranas humanized this Vedic attribute of Vishnu. They personified him into the god, one of the Trinity, who rushed as the fasted ever or any to protect and help a devotee summoning him. Unlike Vishnu, and almost like contemporary days, e-power Kshipra Ganapati affects his bounties by commanding and dispatching his divine powers. Sprawling in full ease, a sitting mode classified in Indian iconographic tradition as Utkut Akasana – both legs diagonally turned, collected, and laid on the seat, as manifests in the statue, is the usual body posture of Kshipra Ganapati. Ordinarily, the seat that Lord Ganesha enshrines in the statue seems to consist of a single molding with a plain top and the rising adorned with repeats of a design-motif, a tiny plant form that seems to radiate its aura above; however, with its roots and trunk drew skywards, and foliage and the glow that it radiates, earthwards, the plant motif reveals a rare symbolism. Of all trees and plants it is only the mythical Kalpa-Taru – the wish-fulfilling divine tree, that has its roots skywards, and its foliage, earthwards. As texts prescribe, a sprig of Kalpa-taru is one of the attributes that Kshipra Ganapati carries in one of his hands. This image of the elephant god does not carry any. The artist seems to have modified his vision of Kshipra Ganapati. He has modeled the divine figure with one of his hands held in ‘abhaya’ – a gesture of assurance, which he thought was more relevant to Kshipra Ganapati form. The iconographic element of Kalpa-taru he has incorporated with the ‘pitha’ – seat, he is seated on and pervades. As is the classical tradition, this brass image of Kshipra Ganapati represents him as four-armed. For transforming it into lustrous red, which is the body color of Kshipra Ganapati, except some selective parts, such as the trunk, palms, and attributes carried in hands, the statue has been anodized in copper blended with a bright reddish tint which in contrast endows gold-like luster to the undyed parts. The body color represents youthfulness, vigor, and physical and spiritual energy. Broadly, Kshipra Ganapati carries in his hand's goad, noose, broken tusk and sprig of Kalpa-taru, and either of a pot of gems or ‘modak’ is held in the trunk. In reasonable deviation, the image replaces the ‘Kalpa-taru’ element as a form in the ‘pitha’ and incorporates instead ‘abhaya’. Similarly, it replaces broken tusk, symbolic of sacrifice and the means of accomplishing an end, with ‘modak’ that the hand holding it is feeding to the trunk, symbolic of accomplishment and hence more appropriate to the imagery of Kshipra Ganapati. The image is in ‘utkut akasana’ revealing carefree ease as in intimate moments. Perfect in modeling, unparalleled in luster, the two halves cast with delightful symmetry and strange visual effects the image reveals great aesthetic beauty and far greater divine aura. This description by Prof. P.C. Jain and Dr. Daljeet. Prof. Jain specializes in the aesthetics of ancient Indian literature. Dr. Daljeet is the chief curator of the Visual Arts Gallery at the National Museum of India, New Delhi. They have both collaborated on numerous books on Indian art and culture.

Lord Vishnu is at the center of the fundamental Hindu Trimurti (trinity). Between Lord Brahma who gives birth and Lord Shiva who annihilates, Lord Vishnu is responsible for the preservation of all that has been projected unto our perception till it is subject to annihilation. He is a resident of paraloka (the otherworldly or heavenly realm of existence) where He lies in the coils of Sheshanaga, loved and served by His wives, Bhoodevi and Shreedevi. The Mahavishnu (‘maha’ is Sanskrit for great) composition that you see on this page is an unusual depiction of the aforementioned ensemble. At the center is the straight-backed figure of the Lord Himself. He is flanked by the curvaceous Bhoodevi and Shreedevi, whom He holds by the nape of the neck with each arm. Interestingly, they both gaze in the same direction and are raising their hands in blessing over the mortal realm. The presence of Sheshanaga pervades this composite iconography. He raises His multitude of hoods over their heads, a Kirtimukham motif where the fangs should be. Below the navel, the bodies of Vishnu and His wives turn into the coils of the naga. The age-old sculptural tradition of the South is known for its predilection for organic media such as wood. It has left its hallmarks in this contemporary work of art, such as in the presence of the Kirtimukham and the style of the plinth. Besides the perfect symmetry of the lotus petals engraved on it, the simple floral motif on the frontal midline is especially characteristic.

  • New Music from T. Ledger! Chaos Theory EP out now online - As a person, I search for truth. I seek to find mini-truths in minute things. Chaos Theory came about after a long chat with a fellow Lavo chap about the all encompassing aspect of Science as a whole: what is the truth? Basically, if you follow Rick and Morty to a tea you'd figure out that chaos must exist for there to be a multiverse model to our 3D dimension. I had already come up with acceptance of the theory and title of my new EP before the conversion which dealt with religion as well. I guess faith brings the acceptance that God gave us free will, which is Chaos and we all are sinners. Some good happens too though. We spoke of astrology, and Saturn is the best planet to look into a telescope and see. I released the album after the chat, with the title track at 960 bpm, which you could imagine is fast. NPC is my personal favourite on the EP, but most importantly the EP doesn't feel out of place with my music. More releases coming in the next few months. Thank you, T. Ledger.

You will get Paintings in Canvas, Landscape, Portrait, Frame, and other formats. You will get a beautiful collection of Indian handmade paintings. This pata-Chitra – cloth painting, rendered in vertical format on a fine piece of cloth, a blend of mercerized cotton and silk, using primarily the blue and black and the subdued tones of yellow and green as the subsidiary palette, represents the Ten-Armed Goddess Durga Killing Mahishasura enshrining a magnificent sanctum. Typical of Orissa pata-Chitra tradition, in the painting most of the forms and effects are line-drawn, the brush seems to have been used only for rendering background against which such forms are discovered or for rendering the thicker areas, though these could be both, the brush-work as also the densely drawn lines. The judiciously used colors attribute to the white of the background the status of yet another color – the one like others, and perhaps more effective than any of them, for it is in its contrast that they all find a form, effect, and their entire magic. The sanctum’s interior has been conceived with deep lustrous blue, and the sky above, with as dark black. In characteristic Oriya tradition a large number of miniaturized flower-plant motifs scattered all over break the monotony of this deep blue interior, and the tiny cloud motifs, rendered in light blue floating in the space above, of the sky. The Oriya pata-Chitra painters are unparalleled in creating most delightful effects: a kind of lyricism and rhythmic vibrancy, out of a deep background in blue or even black, which could otherwise be monotonous, by sprinkling over it multiple repeats of any design motif, even an irrelevant floral pattern, a dot, or whatever. The painting’s pata-Chitra character, typical of Orissa tradition, reflects as powerfully in the style of its architecture, especially in the tiered temple tower, pedestal, and the sanctum’s arched opening with moderately deep corbels, and in the beautifully painted facade. The ten-armed goddess is holding in her hands on the right side sword, trident, disc, lotus-bud, and an arrow, and in those on the left, the snake with shield, conch, mace, bow, and in the fifth, the demon’s hair. In an astonishing move, she gets up from over her mount lion and while supporting her massive figure just on a single foot, set firmly on her mount’s back, she charges upon the demon with a mighty blow of her other foot, and another, that with her spear on his chest and the completely dismayed demon submits to her and to his destiny. Baffled by her blows as he is, the goddess catches hold of the demon’s hair and drags him close to her feet where her mount lion charges at him and tears his figure, and her ferocious snake, one of her attributes, shakes him with horror disabling his all mental faculties. The goddess rises into the space pervading it in entirety and the demon, overpowered by her blows, falls on the ground blow. Installed in a sanctum the figure of the goddess, obviously, the goddess Durga – the most widely worshipped female divinity and one of the most widely worshipped deities of the Hindu pantheon, is essentially a sanctum image. Durga’s votive images, enshrining sanctums, are mostly in operative forms though at the same time she has a form that is all-pervasive, the act she is represented performing being just the most insignificant aspect of her being. She is usually represented as killing a demon, in most cases the buffalo demon Mahisha, known in the popular tradition as Mahishasura, and hence, the goddess, as Mahishasura-Mardini – suppressor of the demon Mahisha. In popular sculptural/visual traditions Mahisha, meaning buffalo, is a figural blend of human and buffalo anatomies, mostly a human head emerging from a buffalo’s body; however, sometimes, as here in this powerful painting, he is also represented only with human anatomy. In myths and conventions of visual representations, it is mostly Mahishasura whose body the goddess’s lion is alluded to as tearing for accomplishing the goddess’s crusade against evil powers. Sword and shield are widely alluded to as being Mahishasura’s attributes. This determines the demon’s identity as Mahishasura. This description by Prof. P.C. Jain and Dr. Daljeet. Prof. Jain specializes in the aesthetics of literature and is the author of numerous books on Indian art and culture. Dr. Daljeet is the curator of the Miniature Painting Gallery, National Museum, New Delhi. They have both collaborated together on a number of books.

  • Ayrshire author writes book to cope with loss of grandfather - Grieving John Heron only picked up the pen as a way of coping with the loss of his grandfather. Now the 25-year-old new author from rural Ayrshire has finally seen his gripping first novel published to critical acclaim. John has used the crime films and television series he adores for inspiration in producing the slick and thrilling Why. He explained: “I began writing after my granddad’s passing as I was full of emotion and needed a place to channel my thoughts. “I learned a lot from the TV shows that l have watched for years on how to build a plot and I also borrowed a few ideas from books I enjoy. “I now write whenever my brain kicks into gear - l have been known not to finish writing until around three in the morning. “Although I have now finished Why, and it is out there, I will continue to write - I need to write.” Why is a stunning whodunnit debut that follows the fortunes of Detective Inspector Jimmy Raven. Not only does the intrepid DI have to solve routine day-to-day cases, he’s also on the hunt for the man who killed the father he never knew. John’s first published work is a rollercoaster of twists and turns as Raven is regularly frustrated by inept colleagues and suspected cover-ups. Fans of hit BBC television crime show Line of Duty will certainly enjoy the complex and highly engaging Why. John, who lists the likes of James Patterson and Stephanie Meyer among his favourite authors, added: “Why focusses on two cases, which seem normal enough but are troubling Jimmy Raven as he quickly identifies a trend of evidence and information being either removed or tampered with. “Behind his everyday work, though, he still harbours a need to solve the murder of his detective father, who was killed on duty. “Jimmy Raven hadn’t known his father until they met shortly before his death. “The story will bring several threads together as DI Raven attempts to expose what is really going on in the police.” Since the death of his grandfather John has created a writing office in his Ayr home to concentrate on producing more gripping novels. For more information visit Amazon and search for John Heron, where the paperback and Kindle versions of Why are both available.

As the favorite son of Shiva-Parvati, Lord Ganesha is widely revered as the adorable baala-deva (boy-deity) of the Hindu pantheon. As the son of the wrathful Shiva, He is often depicted as a warrior, a multi-limbed and multi-headed one at that. Next to His sisters, Devi Sarasvati and especially Devi Lakshmi, He is portrayed as this calm, gathered deity to whom anyone in distress may turn for succor. As such, the musical aspect of Lord Ganesha is little known and an unusual theme for artisans to work with. The wood-carved panel that you see on this page is an ensemble of compact Ganesha figurines Wooden Sculptures. There are three rows of three forms each. Each of the Ganesha-roopas (forms) in the extremities are holding a musical instrument - string instruments in the upper row, wind instruments in the central row, and percussion instruments in the lower row. The figures that form the central column are simple chaturbhujadhari (four-armed) figures, meting out blessings in the traditional iconography of Ganesha. Speaking of traditional iconography, the figurines are all in lalitasana, seated on a gigantic lotus bloom, and wear a tapering crown of gold on the head. Each of the spaces within which the figures are contained is demarcated by a temple-style aureole with the customary Kirtimukham motif. Animals of a mythical nature - peacock- and lion-like fauna - are to be found along the vertical edges of the panels. A riotous color palette and skillful execution of the sculpture make this work a must-have. (Added: Fri Jul 09 2021 Hits: 11 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0) Rate It
  • London mum’s first book praised by reviewers - Embarrassed London mum Hetta Rowe has finally published her debut novelette despite being too afraid to read her work out loud. But the tight-lipped 41-year-old has been rewarded with a string of five-star reviews for the sensual and steamy Luminous Nights. Hetta, who has composed poetry since childhood, used the escapism of writing her first full-length fiction to cope with the restrictions of parenthood. Luminous Nights has been described by enthralled reviewers as ‘fast paced and entertaining’, ‘sexy’, and ‘awesome’. Buoyed by the reaction to her first published work, coy Hetta is already considering turning her novelette into part of a series. She explained: “I was looking out at the London skyline one night, slightly pining for the evenings out I'd had before parenthood and thought ‘Well, if I can’t get to London, maybe London can come to me’, so I picked up a pen and began to write. “When I started writing Luminous Nights, it was a lovely comfort zone to retreat to at the end of each day. “I took part in a writing group, but I was embarrassed to share my writing and read it aloud - it was utterly fascinating to listen to everyone else. “I will definitely write another book and would love to create a series.” Luminous Nights follows the fortunes of work-colleagues-turned-lovers who are often separated by vast distances. Passionate reunions and the constant air of foreboding over future separation are beautifully portrayed in Hetta’s debut. Deliberately left without names, ages or physical descriptions, readers of Luminous Nights are invited to imagine themselves as one of the protagonists. Hetta explained: “The characters are free of names and ages so the reader is free to imagine the lovers’ characteristics for themselves. “The lovers are separated through work and they travel to distant shores – and their separation makes them question what they truly want. “Will the world prove too wide for them to return to each other? “It is a sensual and intimate book of desire, determination and freedom.” Hetta, who lists Maya Angelou, Christina Rosetti, WB Yeats and Shakespeare as her favourite writers, was first encouraged to write by her English teacher. As well as writing Luminous Nights, she also painted all of the illustrations. For more information visit Amazon and search for Hetta Rowe, where the paperback and Kindle versions of Luminous Nights are available.

  • Remote Billers | Medical Billing Services Consultancy in USA - Outsourcing Medical Billing Services Outsourcing medical billing sounds expensive upfront. However, when everything is added up, it may end up being more beneficial over time. Here's why: Most medical billing services charge on a percent-basis, meaning they will only charge a percentage of the revenue they are bringing in for your company. With this in mind, they are going to be a lot more diligent about faster collections and resubmitting claims. Your current employees don't have time to run through denied claims. A third-party professional is dedicated to this. Employing a staff for billing purposes can get expensive. Even to hire just one new person, a practice has to think about the costs of training, the employee's salary, benefits, and taxes, as well as compensation for turnover. Using an outside billing service eliminates the headache of training and familiarizing a staff with your billing software, procedures, coding, etc. A billing service has already trained professionals, who only make money when you do. The amount of time doctors and nurses spend on billing and staffing concerns can be eliminated. This freed-up time can be used to care for patients - which is what you're goal is in the first place. Odds are, outsourced billing companies have more billing and coding expertise, and necessary resources. Even if you are still concerned with internally handling billing, an outside service can assist in providing proper software, such as EMR (Electronic Medical Records), packaged billing, and practice management. Sometimes for an added fee, there are companies that provide appointment reminders, electronic eligibility verification, patient follow-up, coding, consulting, and data reporting. For one lump sum, you can outsource medical billing services that might have been costly to handle within your practice. Certified billing companies are compliant with the latest health care laws, like HIPAA and the Health Care Reform bill, so your staff can rest assured that the law is being followed.
