Aradhana 72 (Temple Bells and Ganesha)

A cluster of burnished temple bells descends like a suspended chorus, their rounded mouths catching warm light and turning metal into a living, resonant presence. Against the saturated orange wall, the garland’s marigold reds and the cool violet drapery create a devotional tension—heat and calm, pulse and hush—guiding the eye toward the small relief of Ganesha as an anchoring symbol of auspicious beginnings. The composition feels both crowded and ceremonially ordered, suggesting that faith is not a solitary image but an atmosphere built from repetition, touch, and sound remembered.
