Diwali Night in Kolkata Painting

The painting represents a vision of Kolkata, the way the author experienced it on Diwali Night 2015. Walking the streets of Salt Lake City Area that particular night, there persisted a sense of something unreal and elusive and which the constant whizzings and burstings of fireworks not only failed to dispel but even enhanced. Small clusters of multicoloured lights with the occasional radiance of a street lamp all on a dark velvet of Indian night, that was what dominated the imagination and has stuck in mind.
