Visarjan at Chowpatty

The artist fondly remembers witnessing Ganpati Visarjan at Chowpatty in Mumbai—an explosion of devotion with grand idols, lively processions, and the scent of dhoop and agarbattis filling the air. Amidst the joyous chaos, one image etched itself into memory—the fading sun casting golden light over the numerous idols gently descending into the sea, serving as a beautiful metaphor of endings that hold the promise of return and renewal.
