fun fact: 


digital description: 
The pop graphic whorl reminds viewers of the relationships between India and the psychedelic drug culture in the West that flourished during the 1960s. The tiny photograph in the center of a young Indian woman with an earnest and sober expression, along with an inscription associating the image with a marriage in Rajasthan, shows the adoption of modern design into a traditional Indian context, apparently stripped of any bohemian connotations.
