Ekaa – The One is India's first national traveling exhibition across 16 states in India, bringing the ancient 64 Yogini tradition into contemporary consciousness.

  • The 64 Yoginis are autonomous, fierce manifestations of goddess Shakti: elemental forms of cosmic feminine energy governing creation, transformation, and enlightenment
  • Dating back to 9th-10th century India, the circular open-sky Yogini temples represent architectural and spiritual marvels that predate many of the country’s famous monuments

This immersive exhibition brings together:

  • 64 Original Paintings: Each visualizing a Yogini's unique cosmic energy, created through a decade of meditation, temple visits, and spiritual channeling
  • Y64: Whispers of the Unseen: A contemplative documentary tracking this unprecedented artistic and spiritual journey | Directed by Dr. Jain Joseph & Produced by the artist, Dr. S Beena S Unnikrishnan
  • Live Programming: Curated talks, exclusive walkthroughs, and experiential sessions at each venue

The National Trail

Spanning metros, cultural hubs, university towns, and heritage institutions, this is a spiritual renaissance reclaiming India's forgotten sacred feminine architecture and philosophy for the modern age.

The Artist & Her Vision

A Decade-Long Spiritual & Artistic Odyssey

Dr. S. Beena S Unnikrishnan

Multidisciplinary Artist, Filmmaker & Cultural Visionary

 

My vision is to reclaim and re-present feminine intelligence as a living, contemporary force that exists within every form of life, in every human being across communities, cultures, and countries. I see this intelligence not as gendered power, but as a universal capacity rooted in balance and in awareness of the existence of this universe itself.

I feel fortunate to explore and express this force through art, which is deeply connected to our heritage. Art is an intuitive and unifying language that brings people together across borders. When shared and experienced, art becomes more than something to look at—it creates a space for connection, reflection, and conversation.

Painting Yoginis has helped me explore feminine power and the important role of masculinity, not as opposites but as forces that work together in our minds, logic, and spirit. Each Yogini shows a quality within us—resilience without being hard, strength with playfulness, intuition with clarity, and power that comes from presence, not dominance.

Travel has consistently broadened my perspectives. This journey across sixteen states in India extends that conviction by engaging directly with individuals and communities through cultural knowledge and art.Through this initiative, I aim to cultivate mutual ownership and shared accountability, allowing cultural learning to thrive, adapt, and be transmitted to future generations. Personally, it serves as a space for unlearning, acquiring new perspectives, and advancing to new stages of personal growth.

My mission is to help create a future where balance and feminine wisdom are part of everyday life. I want these values to shape creative economies, leadership, and shared prosperity,not just as ideas, but as real, lived experiences.

What Awaits You

During the exhibition, you'll have the opportunity to wander among the 64 Yoginis, each painting revealing different facets of the feminine divine. The energy in the space shifts as you move from one goddess to another: some paintings pulse with raw power, others whisper ancient wisdom, and still others radiate compassionate grace.

Watching of the documentary “Whispers Of The Unseen”.

You will get a chance to hear the stories behind each Yogini, the creative process that brought them to life from the artist herself, and the profound personal transformation that unfolded during their creation. These paintings are invitations to recognize and honor the yogini energy within yourself!

Join the Journey

Whether you're drawn to spiritual art, curious about tantric traditions, or simply seeking an experience that touches something deeper, Ekaa – The One offers a rare opportunity to stand face-to-face with the sacred feminine in all her magnificent forms.
