The Ganga-Durga Clash
Painted on a terracotta plate, it depicts a myth on Ganga-Durga clash. The Patua painters of Bengal sung this story, rendering the clashes between Ganga and Durga. Durga wanted to know why Ganga is so important to her husband Shiva, as she perched on his head. They abuse each other and the debate goes on, disclosing many myths related to them. Finally, both of them acknowledge each other’s virtue and power, and raise the hand of friendship.
