At first glance, the bright orange and green artwork is simply a peacock feeding its chicks. But for those well-versed with the artwork of Rajasthan, the style is easily identifiable as a mandana, an ancient art form. Titled Mamata, this mandana symbolizes the love of a mother.

“In Rajasthan, every region such as Hadoti, Dhundhar and Marwar, has its own form of mandana art,” says artist Vidya Devi Soni, whose works are currently on display at Method Juhu. “Mandanas are special; they are tuned to the atmosphere of the space where they are being painted, and have to be created accordingly.”
