Where women are respected, Gods make their home. 

Looking at Raza’s large body of works, one may realize that bindu is not the only recurring element in his works. Raza has largely celebrated female fertility and female entities of nature, is his works, with a variety of shapes, symbols and colours. Here, he has stacked inverted triangles one on top of other, all pushing downwards that evokes budding of life. Many cultures consider female womb as the ultimate bearer of life or seed, one of them being the tantric philosophy. Bija/seed is considered as the nucleus of all the creation of cosmos, so is Brahma. As discussed earlier, the female yoni or womb bears the bija, nourishes it, and further evokes germination.
