This work visualizes the transformation of the Kathmandu Valley as described in the Swayambhu Purana after Manjushri drains the primordial lake. The valley is reimagined as a vessel of abundance, where the self arisen flame of Swayambhu speaks to the richness and enduring fascination of our history and origin.

In this striking painting, the artist masterfully intertwines two divine figures within a single body - the fierce Unmatta Bhairav and the graceful, dancing Shiva. The powerful central form carries the wild intensity of Bhairab: blazing red eyes, sharp gestures , and an eruption of arms brandishing ritual objects. Yet, woven seamlessly into the composition, Shiva's calm profile appears to the left, emerging from the same flowing hair and sharing the same monumental frame. This subtle merging reveals the artist's intention to show that the frenzied, unrestrained force of Unmatta Bhairab is inseparable from Shiva. The monochrome body, set against a warm ochre field, enhances this duality - one form radiating two energies, two presences held in one powerful silhouette. The subdued figure beneath Bhairav's feet anchors the composition, reinforcing the dynamic balance between destruction, transformation, and transcendence. The painting stands as a thoughtful blend of o tradition tradition and and contemporary sensitivity, capturing the unity of these two cosmic forces in a single, compelling image.
