Aus dem Milchmeer entstieg die Welt

The Indian pantheon is vast and diverse. The gods and goddesses in Hinduism have many faces and names, and their relationships are complex and often intricate. Despite their divine powers, they engage in very earthly entanglements, which are not always peaceful. The elephant-headed Ganesha is known for his mischief, while the protective Vishnu argues with the creator god Brahma. Brahma does not hesitate to tell a bold-faced lie to maintain his reputation. And when the world is once again dominated by evil, the fearless Durga is needed to conquer the demonic. Suspicion, cunning, power, and love - the multifaceted fabric of Indian mythology invites wonder, reflection, and a smile. The retellings are accompanied by miniature paintings from the collection.
