Kishangarh, Rajasthan: no date (modern). [#017] Gouache painting on recycled paper. This image appears to be a form of the Goddess Kali with blue skin, 4 arms and 4 legs, two hands holding daggers, and surrounded by blavk serpents. In the background are what appear to be words or phrases in Devangari script, possibly more decorative than textual. The size of this image is approximately 8 x 10 inches including margins. Some black ink marks to right margin, not affecting image. Very good.
Joshi Mangal is a painter from Kishangarh in Rajasthan (India). His body of work is based on the artistic styles found in bazaars in his community and inflected by his idiosyncratic taste for sensational images of tantric art. He paints images of tantric goddesses, circular yantra designs, astrological images, various body parts used for divination (hands and feet), and more.
