Mohini, in hindi, means to seduce or mesmerize. This tapestry features a beautiful dancer seeking to enhance her intellectual progeny by seducing a learned Indian sadhu whose commitment to celibacy prohibits him from succumbing to her overtures. Rustic hues give this tapestry a timeless look and make it a collector’s delight. One of Puja’s initial artworks, this tapestry was inspired by M.F.Hussien’s famous oil painting. It took almost four months to create.
