"Brahmani" by Vineet Aggarwal

SF&F Picture 5 out of 41 by Vineet Aggarwal

SciFi and Fantasy Art Brahmani by Vineet Aggarwal

She is the Energy of the creator-god Brahma also called Saraswati in her other representation.. since she is more or less a reflection of Brahma, i have given her the attributes associated with him- four heads (could show only two here bcoz of the angle), a chariot pulled by swans, a sacred rosary and a pitcherfull of water sanctified with powerful Mantras.. she is one of the Seven Female Powers called the Saptamatrikas who are called upon by the gods when they can't deal with the demons themselves! She does not use any weapons to kill the demons, instead she uses her magic to cast spells on them and sap out all their strength.. This is one of my early sketches on Hindu goddesses along with Durga and Lakshmi..

15 Jul 2008	John R Farley Jr	Loading... I’m not familiar with the character / god, but it’s still a good picture. The swans are well done and I have to congratulate you on her hands. Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Thanx John.. she is the most delicate of the goddesses always engrossed in the pursuit of spreading knowledge and teaching the sixteen arts..therefore i have tried to show her in a less aggressive mode than the other goddesses "
7 Aug 2008	Winnie Spence	Loading... Ooooh.. Now this one I like! Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Thanx Winnie "
23 Aug 2008	Varun	Loading... I loved d chariot being carried by swans. They are associated with wisdom right? Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Yup thats right.. i love drawing d swans too "
15 Sep 2008	Heidi Hecht	Loading... This is cool. You might want to make the swans stand out a bit more against the white/light-colored background. Otherwise, they’re pretty good. Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Ya actually i had made them darker but i think the contrast settings of my scanner r responsible for this! anyways so how hv u been doing?"
30 Sep 2008	Vineet Aggarwal	Loading... Wishing all Goddess-worshipers a very Happy Navratri
11 Oct 2008	Svenja M Vox	Loading... This is GORGEOUS Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Thank you Svenja how have u been?"
3 Nov 2008	Aletheia vaune preston	Loading... She reminds me of Jasmine from Aladdin. Except for the four heads hehe. I love the tassles on the umbrella for some reason. Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Does she now?? i wish i could ahow the four heads somehow u know.. and yeah me likes the tassles too! "
29 May 2009	Alexandra mercy busch	Loading... now there seems to be a mouthful there as one of the seven female powers. i like the names, they’re so long and flowing. you can tell they have deep meenings. i don’t suppose your name means anything does it? Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Yeah they do.. infact Saraswati means ’the one who flows continuously’ She is the goddess of knowledge and arts and is the personification of an ancient river called by the same name.. The name signifies the flow of the river as well as the river of wisdom and teaching.. And hey my name ’Vineet’ means Polite "
2 Jun 2009	Alexandra mercy busch	Loading... everyone does. lots of people try to keep it under wraps, but i live it out there in the open. wich explains why so many people hate and fear me. when i said big personality, i meant it. my friends call me DEATH and my army kids call me RABID BUSCH. there’s a reason for that. Vineet Aggarwal replies: "lol!!! u need to get new friends just relax and tk life as it comes yaar!"
28 Aug 2009	Jaidev	Loading... nice Vineet Aggarwal replies: "Thanx a lot Jaidev "
