Ananda, a painting teeming with celebratory fervor, draws its inspiration from a rich
repository of literature and art, including the intricate patterns of miniature
painting traditions. Angelic figures converge, joyously partaking in the
festivities, notably embodied by a figure flying a kite in the right corner.
The commencement of spring is elegantly signified by the blooming orange
lotuses. Within these artworks, Burman's profound engagement with Bengali
folklore and the diverse roles of women within various communities shines
brilliantly, offering a heartfelt tribute to Mother Nature.
