* Cultural Motifs: Throughout the bodies of the women, you can see faint patterns resembling tribal art (likely Sohrai or Khovar), which are indigenous to the artist’s home state of Jharkhand.
* Historical Continuity: The central golden figure resembles ancient Indian temple sculptures (Yaksis or Surasundaris), bridging the gap between India’s classical past and its living present.
