A Portal into the Tantric World

This exquisite artwork offers a rare glimpse into the sacred and secretive world of Tantra as it was practiced in 18th-century India. The composition depicts a man and a woman sharing a ritual meal beside a burning pyre, surrounded by symbols of mortality and transcendence.

Far from being macabre, this imagery reflects one of Tantra’s most profound teachings - that liberation is found not by rejecting life’s realities but by embracing them completely. The cremation ground becomes a metaphor for transformation, where attachments burn and awareness is reborn.

Symbolism and Sacred Imagery

Every element within this painting is symbolic. The skulls and bones represent impermanence and the acceptance of death as part of the spiritual path. The fire signifies purification, the burning away of illusion and ego.

The two figures, draped in leopard skins, symbolize the masculine and feminine energies uniting through sacred offering. Their act of sharing food is not merely physical nourishment but an exchange of consciousness. The open bowls, the flow of liquid, and the calm composure of both figures reflect deep reverence and trust - hallmarks of Tantric ritual.

The landscape, serene yet charged, mirrors the balance between chaos and stillness that defines the Tantric journey.

An 18th-Century Masterpiece

Originally painted around 1790, this piece embodies the fearless artistic expression of the late 18th century, when spiritual traditions often blurred the boundaries between sacred and forbidden. The painter’s mastery lies in how ritual detail and emotional subtlety coexist - from the delicate rendering of the flames to the intimate gesture of offering.

Now reproduced with museum-grade precision by The Soma Store, this artwork reconnects viewers to a time when art served as a bridge between human experience and divine understanding.
