Going beyond the labyrinth, crossing divides, attempting to touch the vortex of another consciousness, Navjot uprooted herself from her urban milieu to enter the orbit of the Adivasi or tribal world of Bastar in Madhya Pradesh, Central India. In this ground-space, time flows replete with the dual elements of deeply primordial energies and the immediacy of the present.

It is an arena where the Adivasi and the urban worlds interface. Myth, magic, ancient mores and rituals strongly permeate the Adivasi
consciousness. Yet, there is a symbiosis, perhaps a wary uneasy one, between the vigorous tribal inheritance of an empowered self-awareness intimately bonded with the environment, and the lateral onslaught of urban impulses that enter their world.
