“Colors of our Thoughts” by Surbhi Pandya by Surbhi Pandya

In this painting the soul is immersed in a valley of six colored mountains symbolizing the six Leshyas. The mountains are formed by the activities of the chakras (centers of energy) in the human body. The three lower chakras are responsible for lower emotions thus generating the three inauspicious leshyas: Krishna (Black) Leshya, Neel (Blue) Leshya and Kapot (Brown) Leshya. When we dwell in auspicious activities or thoughts, our higher chakras get activated, thus generating the remaining three auspicious Leshyas: Peet (Yellow) Leshya, Padma (Pinkish) Leshya, Shukla (White) Leshya.
