{"product_id":"goddess-bagala-sasadhar-banarjee-1","title":"Goddess Bagala - Sasadhar Banarjee","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century lithograph by Sasadhar Banarjee depicting the Hindu deity Bagalamukhi in a traditional iconographic style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph depicts the Hindu deity Bagalamukhi, one of the Mahavidyas. The print, produced by Sasadhar Banarjee in the late nineteenth century, reflects the popular religious art style of the period, often associated with the early commercial presses of Calcutta. The composition follows traditional iconographic conventions, showing the goddess in a dominant posture, wielding a club to subdue a demon. Her presence is marked by a radiant halo, while a lion rests at her feet, symbolising her power and connection to the divine feminine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aesthetic of the piece combines indigenous stylistic elements with the technical influence of European lithographic printing. The soft, muted colour palette and the fine, cross-hatched shading techniques are characteristic of the prints distributed to households across Bengal during this era. These works served as accessible devotional objects, bringing religious narratives into the domestic sphere. The inclusion of Sanskrit text at the base provides a liturgical context for the image, identifying the deity and offering a meditative verse for the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSasadhar Banarjee was a notable figure in the production of these religious prints, which played a role in the visual culture of colonial India. The print captures a moment of mythological action, balancing the ferocity of the goddess with a composed, formal arrangement of figures. The architectural backdrop and the natural elements, such as the trees and ground, are rendered with a focus on clarity and narrative legibility. This print offers a glimpse into the intersection of traditional religious practice and the emergence of mass-produced visual media in late nineteenth-century India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/leaving-the-theater-albert-belleroche\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLeaving the Theater - Albert Belleroche — Albert de Belleroche\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sasadhar Banarjee","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58922585293135,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58922896556367,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58922896589135,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58922896621903,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58922896654671,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58922896687439,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58922896720207,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58922896752975,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58922896785743,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58922896818511,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58922896851279,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58922896884047,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Goddess-Bagala_Poster_CompositorV1_1790694026935.jpg?v=1790695036","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/goddess-bagala-sasadhar-banarjee-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
