Pushpamala serves as a resplendent tribute to the ethereal and
transient importance of flora within folk narratives and Hindu mythology.
Within this artwork, Burman masterfully intertwines notions of femininity,
growth, and fertility. These winged goddesses exhibit a mesmerizing hybrid
nature, with their lower bodies seamlessly merging into the graceful form of
swans. Each holds a potted plant adorned with vibrant flowers, seated amidst a
garden of abundance where they deftly weave wreaths of resplendent orange lotuses.
She conjures an enchanting otherworldly garden where goddesses gracefully weave
wreaths of flowers, embodying the very essence of spring and rebirth.
