The Seed of Belief
This painting explores skepticism surrounding the ritual offering of the coconut, or shrifal, in Indian traditions. Considered divine, the coconut holds symbolic weight in our culture. But is it just a fruit? By questioning the origins of such beliefs passed down from ancestors, I challenge the viewer to reflect on the truthfulness of these customs. Are they rooted in deeper truths, or are they simply traditions carried forward without question? This piece invites a contemplation of the fine line between faith and doubt.
