Description:

"Banaras 9" by Anand Narain is an oil on canvas painting that provides a close-up, impressionistic view of the bustling activity along the Ganges River in Banaras. The right side of the composition features the ancient architecture of the ghats, rendered in earthy tones of brown and ochre, with layered brushstrokes suggesting the stone steps and buildings. Several boats, depicted with bold outlines and hints of color, are moored or drifting near the riverbank, some partially submerged. The majority of the canvas is dominated by the deep blue and turquoise waters of the Ganges, painted with vigorous strokes that convey movement and reflections. The overall impression is one of a vibrant, lived-in landscape, focusing on the intimate relationship between the city, its people, and the sacred river.
