Yayati Madhyahna Series (Yayati's World)

This panoramic tableau unfurls like a village epic, where women in rhythmically striped drapery circulate through labor, leisure, and quiet intimacy, turning the everyday into ritual. A molten palette of saffron, vermilion, and deep teal compresses space into a decorative field, while the repeating curves of bodies, pots, and foliage bind the scene into a single breathing cadence. The blue-flowering tree reads as both canopy and sanctuary—an emblem of fertility and shared memory—holding private gestures within a public, communal myth. Beneath its ornamental beauty, the work meditates on how desire, work, and tenderness coexist, braided into the same continuous, ancestral landscape.
