Found this wall painting on Panditiya Road in Kolkata (Calcutta) yesterday. With the Pujas (i.e. Durga Puja in Kolkata) knocking on our doors, the Bengalis of Kolkata tend to get creative. This painting depicts Goddess Durga killing an asura (a shape-shifting demon) when the asura emerges from a buffalo. Her four children are alongside.
