Nuclear Goddess


Rithika Pandey's mural at Mumbai Urban Art Festival depicts a post-apocalyptic world that experiences a terrible flood, leading to the emergence of a "nuclear goddess".

She is a visual artist from Mumbai. Her artworks investigate the mystical spaces that exist within human entanglements, and issues of displacement, femininity, and hybridity. She paints imagined worlds that act as sacred spaces and highlight companionship and recovery.

Indian pub


Angrezi Dhaba (English street cafe) in Bandra. All commercial establishments have to necessarily display the shop names in the regional language too. The tiny shop outside is a tobacconist.

Rebirth

 

Rebirth of leaves of the canon ball tree in Bandra.

In India, the tree is sacred to Hindus, who believe its hooded flowers look like the nāga under which the white stigma looks like a Lingam, and hence, it is grown at Shiva temples. The cannonball tree has since then been planted at Buddhist and Hindu religious sites in Asia in the belief that it is the tree of sacred scriptures. In Sri Lanka, Thailand and other Theravada Buddhist countries it has been planted at Buddhist monasteries and other religious sites. Ref Wikipedia
