Jag darshan ka mela  (The world, a theatrical fair)
24" x 24"
I am very fond of the poetry of the 16th century Indian mystic poet, Kabir.  I interpreted one of his well-known poems (included here as a pdf file, with my own translation) , which is often performed in north Indian classical music, as an allegorical painting and set it in Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganges, where he was born and lived. It includes reference to Hindu rituals and the contemporary life that one sees there today.
