An aura depiction of ‘Prithvi’, while holding the golden womb (hiranyagarbha) embodying fertility and birth, the painting illustrates several women engaged in a rhythmic momentum around the orb. The creatures and mythical objects that surround the figure are envisaging a coming phenomenon ordained through a path of diligence, repetitive gesture and timeless endeavours. Seema Kohli's use of gold and silver leaf creates a sensational effect, expressing sacredness and a holistic characteristic. This splendour with sophistication and craftsmanship, honours the eternal bond between the human spirit and the divine.
