Parikrama (Cosmic Mandala Depicting Hindu Deities and Symbols)

The work unfolds as a mandalic cosmos where concentric bands of incised, glyph-like imagery orbit a radiant core, anchoring the eye on the vibrating “Om” that reads as both origin and frequency. A molten red-orange aureole breathes outward like heat or dawn, setting the cool, slate-blue architecture of symbols into sharp relief and turning the composition into a dialogue between inner stillness and worldly multiplicity. The disciplined symmetry suggests ritual order, yet the dense inventory of signs—animals, celestial emblems, and ancestral motifs—implies time layered upon time, as if belief itself were a wheel continually re-inscribed. In this way, the painting functions less as illustration than as a contemplative instrument, inviting the viewer to move from surface complexity toward a centered, luminous silence.
