About the painting
The canvas depicts two trees on which two bright green parrots are perched. Above we see a god sitting on an elephant and below, a hunter who has just fired an arrow at the tree.
At the centre of the painting we see an extract of the Ramayana written in Hindi. In this painting, the artist has applied bright green and yellow in loosely defined areas. Pop influences and oriental calligraphic art are deployed by the artist to depict an Indian mythological subject.
