Stand on the ghats of Varanasi at dawn and the air itself seems to hum. Sushma Mahajan brings that feeling indoors. Great brass temple bells hang in the foreground, painted in layered golds until they appear to sway, while behind them the old sandstone palaces rise in warm ochre and rose. Below, painted wooden boats rest on water that holds every colour above it. She gives the bells the weight of the whole painting, a quiet way of saying that faith here is something you hear before you see. It belongs where people gather: a dining room, an entrance, a family room that keeps its own rituals. A piece of Kashi to live with every day.
