As the star-nymph daughter of the Greek sun-god Helios and wife of Indian river-god Hydapses, Astris symbolizes the fusion of universes. The piece intricately weaves together elements of the Raag Gunkali, traditionally associated with the early morning hours, which embodies the essence of devotion (Bhakti) and compassion (Karma).
