A well known Artist recently told me:

About Mahishasur Mardini Maanya Sachdeva writes in QUEO (12/11/2018)
"Disturbed by the riots of 1992, Mehta saw this as an opportunity to create a topical artwork and, thus, Durga Mahisasura Mardini was born. The iconic visual of the goddess Durga killing a demon was harnessed by Mehta to give shape to a powerful idea—that anything anti-secular or anti-democratic will eventually be overcome by the spirit of India. On closer inspection, the colours of the Indian flag reveal themselves; Mehta was making a deliberate, political comment."
