Bodies without garments and robe s of wisdom:
The female bodies as imagined in Arpana Caur’s paintings
Aparna Roy Baliga
“This body that you are fussing over,
This body that you’re dolling up,
This body that you’re wearing to the party,
This body will end as ash.
Wear the robe of wisdom,
BrandLalla’s words on your heart,
Lose yourself in the souls light,
You shall be free.”
(Vakhs of LalDed)1
