Inspired by the ritual traditions of Masto culture in western Nepal, this work centers on the celebration of Daare Masto, one of the twelve revered Masto deities. Through intricate line work and dynamic ritual imagery, the artist depicts moments of worship, possession, and communal gathering, where devotees believe the deity communicates guidance and wisdom through the body of the worshipper.
Within Bhavana, the work reflects collective faith, ancestral memory, and the enduring relationship between nature, spirituality, and community.
