Gallery Gitanjali is one of my favourite art galleries in Panjim. Set in the colourful Fontainhas quarter of the city, the gallery is part of the Panjim Inn precinct and is a lovely place to visit to see art, sculpture or while away a torpid afternoon on their verandah with a cup of chai or a cool drink.
On a recent visit, I was struck by the beauty of these charcoal and pastel work on paper by Nilesh Bharti. You may get a sense of their beauty from these images, but the real paintings are so much more beautiful. It reminded me of Mahabaleshwar on a foggy December morning – the air is crisp, a little blue and you can’t see much ahead.
Enjoy.
