Description: A sandstone image of Durga from India (c.900 CE) sparks a conversation between Laurie Patton and Joyce Fleuckiger of Emory's Department of Religion, and Sasikala Penumarthi, one of the world's foremost Kuchipudi dancers. The conversation begins with a look at the sculpture itself and the story it represents — the slaying of the buffalo demon by the goddess — and moves to the Hindu concept of feminine power and ways in which the goddess is worshipped, from images in temples to dance.
