Raven Deity-18 (vk-322)
Bhutan is called the land of happiness, where development is measured by the happiness index. Everywhere, you meet soft spoken people, and see monks and nuns of all ages in monasteries that are galore in different parts of the country and in major towns. Bhutan revers its ancestors, rulers, and deities. Bhutanese have several traditions of worshipping the the revered ones. After my trip to Bhutan I did several Bhutan paintings in Indian Contemporary Art form. In this large size vertical painting several monks are dancing around their leader in the centre with a hope that their dance meditation would transform them into Raven, like the ancestor monk Jarog Dongchen. According to Bhutanese belief, this Raven is protecting Bhutan even now. It is worshipped by Bhutanese. Raven is the national bird of Bhutan and it appears in the crown of the king of Bhutan.
