Pendent

The painting titled 'Pendent' subtly explores India's complex social structure rooted in caste classification, which has evolved through various ruling periods from the Mughal Empire to the British Raj. Through surreal elements reminiscent of Surrealism, the artwork portrays the pervasive influence of caste across diverse communities, including Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains. A striking Marina-like figure might symbolize societal constraints or spiritual liberation, prompting viewers to reflect on the enduring legacy and contemporary implications of social stratification in India.
