Kedarnath temple caught in a Himalayan blizzard. The grey stone shrine with its tiered shikhara stands centre-left, flag still flying, while the dark mass of the Bhairav rock looms behind through the white. Snow drives across the canvas in long diagonal streaks, and a few bundled dark figures struggle across the foreground past a low wooden structure. Sandhya Kaushik works almost in monochrome, loading the snow and sky in thick white, grey and slate-blue palette-knife slabs, then dragging the storm in with the knife's edge so the temple seems to hold against the weather.

It is a stark, weather-driven image with quiet grit. It suits a study, a gallery wall, or a cool room that can take a dramatic, near-monochrome painting.
