The Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga at Ujjain, on the banks of the Shipra, under a warm peach sky. The temple's tiered sandstone shikhara climbs the centre of the frame in honey and burnt-ochre ridges, a small flag at its peak; a secondary shrine sits to the left. Steps and a strip of blue water cross the foreground, where pilgrims walk and red, orange and blue market umbrellas cluster at the right. Sandhya Kaushik builds the tower in stacked palette-knife planes, then keeps the ghat water in cool slate and cobalt against the warm temple stone.

The strong central spire and bright canopies give the piece a lived-in, festival warmth. It holds an entry, a stairwell, or a prayer corner.
