About The Show:

“Sampada” (संपदा) translates to wealth. In Achrekar’s works, it signifies the wealth of knowledge and spirituality. The central figures in her works represent individuals with Samyak Gyan (right knowledge) and Samyak Darshan (right view). These pieces, a visual meditation for spiritual journeyers, prompt reflection on our ability to discern what is good (knowledge) from what is not (ignorance). Achrekar beautifully captures the journey within, illustrating our reliance on the divine, yantras, mantras, tantra, devas, and devis to achieve our goals. Her vibrant works present a colorful drama of strong Indian hues and bold textures, creating a visual extravaganza that enhances lives culturally and visually, bringing home knowledge (ज्ञान), purity (सत्व), culture (संस्कार), and an investment for the soul (आत्मा).
