Meenakshi is a goddess in the Hindu pantheon and is believed to be an avatar of the goddess Parvati, the wife of Shiva. The most important temple dedicated to this goddess is the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Meenakshi’s strong association with the city of Madurai is related to the tale of her coming into being. Between the 4 th century BC and the 17 th century AD, the Pandyan dynasty was one of the dominant powers in the southern part of India. For a great part of their rule, Madurai served as their capital. One of the Pandyan kings was the legendary Malayadwaja Pandya and the goddess was born as his daughter. The girl’s eyes were shaped like a fish, and hence she was given the name Meenakshi.
Meenakshi grew up learning the martial arts, and became a fine warrior who excelled particularly in archery and sword-fighting; and hence is known as the warrior goddess.
When she came of marriageable age, she challenged each of her suitors to a duel in archery and sword-fighting. As expected, none of the suitors could defeat the princess. She then traveled to conduct military campaigns, defeating all opponents. Eventually, she arrived at Mount Kailash, where she met her equal in battle, Sundareswara, who is actually the god Shiva. They both then got married.
Hello there!
Greetings!
I am Jamuna, and am a photoshop artist. My artworks are heavily influenced by Indian culture and spirituality. I try to give a modern twist to age-old stories (some dating back several centuries) of India, in Photoshop and bring them to life. These are the stories I often heard when I was a child, and its my sincere effort to bring them to everyone (in a modern way) using the medium of Photoshop art.
I am sure, you will like these works, as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by. Please ...
