DURGA, DURGA, DURGA

Meet Durga, the Hindu Goddess who preserves all moral order and righteousness in the world. She has eighteen arms and carries many weapons in her many hands (a sword, arrow, and trident, just to 
name a few).

I came across these beautifully intricate sculptures of her today and am entranced by the multitude of tiny shapes and layers upon layers of white. They almost look like they could be made of fondant! Durga dessert...now, there's an idea...
