Works in watercolor and especially on ‘ghats of the temples ‘. while in college i did a lots of work in watercolor and acrylic on various topics and techniques ranging from seascape,cityscapes to landscapes. The ‘Ghats of Varanasi’ are unique, tranquil as well as full of energy so i like to depict the ghats of varanasi India. I had been to varanasi many times and almost in every season of year. the changing hues of varansi are so exciting that i experience vivid transformation every second. I found joy in on the spot painting at ghats and has many on the spot works in my collection. the flow and crowd of people is so eloquent that its really fun to depict it. one more thing i noticed the difference that the minds of people wandering on ghats are conquered by the religious thoughts which reflect in their activities and on faces and i love capturing those minds in watercolor and acrylic.
