In the past the women were so enchanted with the rhythm of the mans flute that they twist and turn, entwining themselves with each other, adding to the solemnity of there lives. The Kandarpa tale is the outcome of a unique ritual in Orissa, which shows that Kandarpa is in full command of the orchestration of woman that takes place in everyday life. After Independence, India gave equal rights to men and women in all walks of life. But even today one cannot say that all women in India enjoy equal rights with men in all matters. My images are constructed to magnify the contradiction and strength of their journey that the woman had to endure to change the way they are treated.
