Panchtatva means the five fundamental elements of life - Bhoomi (earth), Jala (water), Agni (fire), Vayu (air) and Akash (sky). The colors representing these five elements primarily make up Raza's color palette (black, red, blue, yellow and white).
The black bindu placed in the centre of this artwork represents the concentration of all energy and creation, and the four coloured areas surrounding the bindu, represent these elements of nature. Their equal divisions represent the balance in nature. The left panel houses all the female elements of nature (Prakriti), such as an inverted triangle, representing germination and budding of life, two Bindus in red and black placed on top of the inverted triangle, which are symbolic of the polarity in nature, and the male and female entities, coming together for creation of life. In the right panel, the artist highlights the male aspect of nature (or the Purusha) using a variation of the Bindu, an elongated oval, housing five coloured bindus. All these colored Bindus represent five fundamentals of life and their individual representations in forms of Bindus, symbolize that they are complete and balanced individual entities.
