Immerse yourself in the divine aura of Dharmendra Sutradhar's Chau Mask depicting Durga Ma, the epitome of strength and righteousness. As the goddess of war, Durga Ma fiercely protects peace and prosperity from the clutches of evil. With each stroke of the artist's hand, her essence resonates, embodying the very energy that upholds moral order in the universe.
