Rudrani I
Rudrani is the shakti and consort of Rudra (Shiva). She later came to be identified as a manifestation of Durga. - inspired by 1) Dassain / Durga Pooja and 2) the #metoo movement. Symbolises woman empowerment. The two hand mudras introduced are unique and different to the usual Durga portrayal. The right hand is in 'gyan mudra' hence the power of knowledge and the left hand is in 'rudra mudra' hence the reference to Rudra or Shiva... from where the title of the painting is derived.
