These small paintings are made anonymously in India by practitioners of tantra, some of whom are artists, to signify and stimulate specific mental and/or spiritual experiences. While they are traditional images that have evolved over centuries with highly conventionalized forms and colors, they exude such a high level of intentionality that they continually appear fresh and alive. Despite their didactic function, they also have a history of being coveted as decorative objects and abstract art.
