EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of Yakshini, a revered deity from the Buddhist gate in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. Created during the Kusana Period between 30-241 AD, this stone masterpiece reflects the artistic brilliance of the Indian School in the 2nd century. Yakshini stands as a symbol of feminine power and fertility, adorned with a belt that accentuates her divine presence. As a prominent figure in Buddhism, she embodies grace and spirituality. The intricate details carved into her form highlight her ethereal beauty and evoke a sense of awe. The nudity portrayed here is not meant to be provocative but rather represents purity and vulnerability. Clothed only by her own natural elegance, Yakshini's nakedness signifies an unadorned connection with nature and spiritual enlightenment. Displayed at the Indian Museum in Calcutta, India, this artwork holds immense historical significance. It serves as a testament to ancient Indian artistry and religious devotion that has transcended time. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where art was used as a medium to express reverence towards deities like Yakshini. This image invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic allure and cultural importance within Buddhism's rich heritage.
