If there ever was a sight more beautiful than Kali puja in India during Diwali, it’s the picture of Goddess Kali as painted by an artist adorning the 100-floor tall Empire State Building in New York.
Artist Andrew Jones designed the portrait of the goddess to make the point that Mother Nature now more than ever needs a fierce avatar to fight the dangers of pollution and extinction, Firstpost.com reported.
It was the last, most captivating artwork in the exhibition by filmmaker Louie Psihoyos called Projecting Change, which projected pictures of endangered creatures onto the NYC skyline with San Francisco-based Obscura Digital.
Cecil the lion, and hundreds of other nameless endangered animals were showcased on the Empire State Building.
The show ended with a representation of Kali – the goddess of darkness – imploring people the world over to fight the darkness and take up conservation.
Pictures posted by Indians on Twitter show the gorgeous goddess, a study in light and darkness, encapsulating the night skyline of New York with its brilliance!
