Banarash Ghat 2 (Sacred Bathing of Nandi) Acrylic Religious Painting

This work stages a tender ritual where a stream of water becomes both blessing and conduit, flowing from the human hand into the silent, devotional presence of the adorned bull. Opposing the foreground’s tactile chiaroscuro, the monumental profile holds a glowing city within its cranium—architecture and riverfront compressed into memory, suggesting a mind built from place, pilgrimage, and inherited myth. The palette of ember reds, saffron golds, and bruised blues creates a heat-haze atmosphere in which the sacred and the everyday interpenetrate, framing reverence as an inner landscape rather than a distant monument. In its layered space—animal, hand, and imagined metropolis—the painting proposes that faith is not merely performed, but housed, nourished, and continuously poured into being.
