“Mana-Mayura”- the heart as a peacock is a popular trope in the literary and artistic realm of India, which compares the innocent fickleness of a peacock’s movements with the ripples of emotions that rise and fall in the heart, especially a heart in love. In this acrylic-on-paper painting by Anuj Singh, the alluring eye of a young woman has been offered as a window to her heart, astutely placed next to a pair of peafowls, perfectly mirroring the liveliness of her thoughts. Unlike her feathered companions, who are in a pair or Joda, the beloved of the woman is missing from the composition, a deep yearning for whose company can be felt in the nervous gaze of her eye.
