Dwarkadhish, the western Char Dham on the Gujarat coast, under a golden evening sky. The five-storey ochre-brown shikhara fills the left of the frame, its great saffron and crimson flag snapping out over the rooftops. Worn sandstone steps drop to a band of blue water at the right, where bathers wade and bright market umbrellas open in red and green; pilgrims in white and saffron move across the foreground. Sandhya Kaushik stacks the tower in dense palette-knife ridges of caramel and burnt sienna, then keeps the water in cool cobalt and teal scrapes against the warm stone.

The tall spire and its banner give the piece an upright, ceremonial lift. It suits an entryway, a stairwell, or a prayer corner that can take a warm, busy scene.
