"Kaishori" is a celebration of the early stages of a woman’s journey, inspired by the goddess Durga’s youthful form. The painting honors the beauty of simplicity and the purity of spirit in a young woman on the brink of new beginnings. She is dressed in a simple saree, her understated attire highlighting her natural grace and purity. A few pieces of jewelry adorn her, adding a touch of elegance without overshadowing her youthful charm.
