From time immemorial, it has been said that Yoga encompasses all physical and spiritual benefits meted out to man. The blissful co-existence of man and nature in Indian art often comes across as Buddha or Shiva in a lotus position or other meditative postures, emphasizing their dependency on each other. The seven ‘Chakras’, as stated by ancient Vedas, are believed to be the energy centres within our body that governs our physical, mental and emotional well-being. The seventh and most important ‘Chakra’, also known as ‘Crown Chakra’ represents wisdom in one’s innate sense of individuality while anchoring their faith inspirituality through cosmic consciousness, highlighting the purpose of mortal life. The power to conquer the knowledge of ‘Ananta’ is a potential left unrealised without identifying nature and its habitat. The artwork brings out this eternal seek of mankind. The nature of the knowledge, truth and the infinite is as endless as the lengths of the ocean. The one who is consciously able to differentiate between the mortal physical body and the immortal soul, attains enlightenment – ‘Moksha’. He is the supreme omniscient.
