One of many dangerous forms of Shiva's wife, this is Durga Pratyangira in a south Indian depiction.

She holds her husband's trident, a sword, drum, and a bowl for catching the blood of the demon which she will slay. Her fangs and the tongues of fire leaping from her head disclose her Tantric association also with the god Kali.

Unique Jainism Art This version of the Navkar mantra is an original handmade illuminated manuscript painting (not a print) displaying a seated deity. The Navkar Mantra (spiritual chant) is the most important mantra in Jainism and can be recited at any time. The Navkr Mantra contains the main message of Jainism. The message is very clear. If we want to be liberated from this world then we have to take the first step of renunciation by becoming a monk or a nun. This is the beginning. If we stay on the right path then we will proceed to a higher state, Arihant, and ultimately proceed to Siddha after nirvana (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). The goal of every Jain is, or should be, to become a siddha. The painting is a colorful picture painted with oil on canvas. This art is rare. The painting measures 9 in. wide and 12 in. tall (23 cms X 30.5 cms). NAVKAR MANTRA Namo Arihantanam: I bow down to Arihanta, Namo Siddhanam: I bow down to Siddha, Namo Ayariyanam: I bow down to Acharya, Namo Uvajjhayanam: I bow down to Upadhyaya, Namo Loe Savva-sahunam: I bow down to Sadhu and Sadhvi. Eso Panch Namokaro: These five bowings downs, Savva-pavappanasano: Destroy all the sins, Manglananch Savvesim: Amongst all that is auspicious, Padhamam Havei Mangalam: This Navkar Mantra is the foremost. - See more at: http://www.artnindia.com/shop/jain-painting-navkar-mantrajainism-indian-religious-handmade-canvas-oil-artwork/#sthash.zTxjLSAg.dpuf
