The photographic print, Self Portrait, Yakshi (Salabhanjika) refers to the Yakshi Salabhanjika for inspiration. She is often depicted leaning into a Sala tree which bursts into blossom at her touch. In this image, Bhat translates the geographical location to the California landscape, where the viewer sees a nude self-portrait leaning against a Live Oak tree, embellished by pale yellow Sala flowers.
