Untitled, Shaligram to invoke Lord Vishnu; Energy spiral as abstraction of ammonite- the natural manifestation of Vishnu, gouache on brown paper, 6.2 x 6.8 inches, c. 1980's
About Tantra art from Rajasthan - This piece is a fine example of a work on paper by an initiate of an esoteric sect of Hinduism. The symbolic imagery was informed by 17th century cosmological manuscripts, (with roots tracing back even further to the 5th century CE). Such works have been cited as being created for private use an aids in meditation to achieve a heightened state of consciousness and oneness with the macrocosm.
