Title: “SUTRA FUSION”

Story:
When I think of India, I visualize in a full spectrum of color. From the pink sands of Jaipur, to the purple haze at dawn in Sarnath, to the bright yellows, oranges and golds of the flowers at center stage in Indian festivals, to the beautiful women wrapped in yards of sequined and jeweled silk, the intensity of color must be seen to be believed. The word, “sutra” means a thread or a tale. No wonder Buddhism began in such a colorful country. Here, the threads of time and place fuse into brilliant color.
