These images of Ma Durga as a girl next door is a powerful portrayal of our beloved goddess. And they are also a moving tribute to a special group of women.

She is a strong, talented Bengali young woman. Almost like our daughter Durga. She is a photographer with a message to spread. The following images by Sharmistha Dutta are stunning not only because they portray a live Durga – our beloved girl-next-door but also because they are a moving tribute to the widows living in Vrindavan. The story and concept is by Sharmistha, an artist and a photographer. You can read more about this work by Sharmistha here.

We applaud Sharmistha & her team for this tremendous work and we hope that these images will make you stop in your tracks for a moment and ponder upon the plight of women in our country.

This ongoing photo essay is an attempt at portraying women from all genres, in their true form, that is Durga, someone very powerful. It is a reminder for the common women to realize this power and person within her. My attempt is to connect and highlight every women’s issue with this, that deserves to be talked about and addressed. Image Source ~ Scoopwhoop
