Do you remember this sketch I had posted some time back...?
Moha, the innate desire of man which causes man to discard all his rationale plays a prime part in his life. Manav (human) derived from manas, the mind, is never detached from it. It is to play with this quality of mind that Lord Vishnu, the one who pervades, transformed into Mohini, the ethereal beauty, starkly flawless and fabulously feminine enchanted and deprived the asuras (demons) of reason by infusing every particle with desire according to the Hindu Mythology.
Here is the finished work of Mohini...a humble attempt:
Watercolour and pitt pens

Wonderful piece, Deepa. I love the subtle shading and the way Mohini's skin seems to glow. The palette is wonderful and seems to be lit from behind. Gorgeous!
