Description:

 "Banaras 3" by Anand Narain is an oil on canvas painting that offers a vibrant and impressionistic depiction of the iconic Banaras ghats along the Ganges River. The artwork is characterized by expressive brushstrokes and a rich palette. The upper portion of the painting features the distinctive architecture of the ghats, rendered in warm tones of orange, brown, and ochre, with hints of green foliage and red structures, suggesting the temples and buildings that line the river. Darker, simplified forms represent the umbrellas and perhaps figures on the ghats. The lower two-thirds of the painting are dominated by the shimmering blue and turquoise waters of the Ganges, with visible brushstrokes conveying movement and light on the water's surface. Several boats, rendered in shades of blue and grey, are scattered across the river, adding to the sense of life and activity. The overall impression is lively and atmospheric, capturing the unique spiritual and everyday energy of Banaras.
