Mohini (Two editions available)

Mohini
Oleograph
Raja Ravi Verma | 1905-1910

Mohini - the only female avatar of Lord Vishnu, and perhaps the most enigmatic figure in the entire Hindu pantheon. Born of divine strategy, Mohini appeared during the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) to bewitch the demons and reclaim the nectar of immortality for the gods. She is enchantment itself - beauty deployed as divine intelligence, desire wielded as a cosmic instrument.

To depict Mohini is to walk a razor's edge in sacred art - she is neither goddess nor consort in the conventional sense, but an avatar, a divine disguise, a force of māyā made flesh. That she appears so rarely in the oleograph tradition makes this a genuinely exceptional find.

Presented here under museum glass -a detail that speaks to the seriousness with which this piece deserves to be held.
