The Sacred Union
The work celebrates the philosophy that the whole universe is perceived as being created, and sustained by two fundamental forces, which are permanently in a perfect, indestructible union. These forces are Shiva and Shakti. 

The central focus of the work is on Parvati /Shakti the consort of Lord Shiva, depicted by the inverted triangle and the tree of life within.
The creative energy of the universe resides in this Mother Goddess and she also symbolizes fertility..She is the recreative energy and power of Shiva, and she is the cause of a bond that connects all beings and a means of their spiritual release. She has many attributes and aspects. Each of her aspects is expressed with a different name, giving her over 100 names

The names of Goddess Parvati reflect feminine attributes like beauty, grace and gentleness ,love and devotion as well as of divine strength and power. Parvati is also worshipped as the goddess of harvest and protector of women. As Shakti she is considered to be the cosmos itself – she is the embodiment of energy and dynamism, and the motivating force behind all action and existence in the material universe.

Shiva is her transcendent masculine aspect, providing the divine ground of all being. “There is no Shiva without Shakti, or Shakti without Shiva. The two in themselves are One”.

As the hymn dedicated to the Goddess Parvati by Shiva goes  “I am the sea and you the wave,. You are Prakṛti, and I Purusha.”

Dignity of Kings 
For centuries the horse and it's breed have represented the authority and the stature of the ones who ride it. It has been the essential facade to the very presence of the ruler.

For a moment there I lost myself
Memories turn hazy as age forges ahead...but sometimes there's that certain smell or that song or even that inexplicable feel in the air that resurfaces a buried childhood memory. The work is the depiction and capture of one such moment when the artist recalled his childhood in a remote Himalayan cantonment.

Penance
Penance in Buddhism centres on austerity, asceticism, and spiritual and physical discipline and  as a path to the achievement of  an ideal balance between self-indulgence and self-mortification. The iron nails represent the practice of strict forms of discipline, denial, and mortification, while the Bodhi Tree represents the achievement of higher consciousness and spiritual awareness.

Bhiksham Dehi III
The alms bowl refers to the time in the Buddha’s life just before he attained enlightenment, when a young girl, named Sujata offered the Buddha a bowl of milk rice. Although the Buddha was practicing austerity and eating only a little food at a time, he realized that to achieve the final stages of enlightenment, he would need to partake the offering of rice from Sujata. After partaking of the meal, the Buddha then threw away a small amount of food left in that bowl to symbolize non-attachment to material possessions. Another legend tells the story that the Buddha threw away the begging bowl itself into the river to symbolize this non-attachment.

Dhyana X ( Bodhi tree and the four boy monks) 

In this work the novice boy monks are revealed the concept of "Nirvana" as depicted by the tree in its purest form of monochromatic representation. The novice monks are in awe of this magnificent vision. They see the path that links them to their final goal through Dhyana, represented by the simple red dot. The sanctity and purity of this thought lies in the vast whiteness of the canvas. As one pauses to absorb the work, the artist endeavours to instil The retention of calmness in the midst of a  tumultuous environment that the viewer may find himself in. It is  through Dhyana, the practice of mind control by which we stop all thinking and seek to realize Truth in its essence. Of the many different paths to Nirvana, the most important one  is the path of Dhyana, the practice of “stopping and realizing.”
