“Mystical afternoons and enchanting twilights of longings & celebrations of a single mother, who looks beyond the mundane & rekindles the magical lore of Moomal – a lovelorn woman of legendary beauty & the queen of Jaisalmer during mid-14th century, India who broke free from traditional norms.”
Created during the last few months of lockdown, in moon phases ebbing myriad thoughts – from anxiety to euphoria – of womanhood through yearning wistfulness. Folkloric, lovelorn and haunting manifested through the mystic voices of Barmer manganiyars citing eternal anecdotes of Moomal Rano and voiced by women from across the globe.
