In a master stroke, Jyoti da conflates the image of the peacock - so very dear to his practice - with the image of a hand. As is typical in most of his work, we find a multi-layered universe - with references to diverse ideas such as astrology, the alphabet, the sacred emblems of Vishnu, Vastu-shastra, and ecology.
