Скачать или смотреть Navratri Special: The Legend of Goddess Kaushiki

All Hail Goddess Kaushiki!
In Hindu mythology, Kaushiki is the radiant, warrior form of the Goddess who emerged to protect the world from tyranny. During Navratri, her worship signifies courage, resilience, and the ability to overcome challenges.
According to the Devi Mahatmya, when the Goddess Parvati went to bathe in the Himalayas, she shed her darker outer skin. From that skin arose Kali, and from her inner brilliance emerged Kaushiki-radiant, dazzling, and armed to battle the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha.
Our reel today features a 20th century Pattachitra scroll from Odisha, housed in the Crafts Museum, Delhi, accompanied by hymns from the Devi Mahatmya.
