Bisarjan (immersion) ,1989

Bikash Bhattacharjee

Bisarjan (immersion) is a hindu ritual where the idols of the Gods are plunged in water bodies after festivals dedicated to worship them is over.

Among the bengali hindus the greatest religious festival is the Durga puja where goddess durga (an abatar of cosmic power or shakti ) is worshipped for 5days at the beginning of the autumn . On dashami the rituals of the 5days long worship ends with the idols being submerged in a river or nearby water body . Giving a endearing twist to the eternal story of Gods rescuing mankind from the arch evil , the bengali Hindus also views Goddess Durga as their own daughter who comes to spend five days in her maternal house and leaves for the Himalayas (her husband's home) on the day of Dashami. In bengali psyche and imagination the cosmic omnipotent Goddess is therefore often inseparable from the mortal daughters of the land suffering the usual plights of a daughter , mother and wife . This is one of the finest example of seeing the divine in mundane and vice versa .

Bikash Bhattacharjee's celebrates this spirit with a series of uncanny , surreal paintings collectively called 'Durga' where Durga is everywhere , in every woman , from holy pedestal to unholy brothels . In this painting we see the half submerged body (or corpse) of a woman whose divinity is apparent only through her third eye smeared in vermilion .
