The Mughal terraces above Dal Lake in the fortnight the chinars turn. Water steps down the central channel in flat pale slabs while the trees on either side are built from dense, broken flecks of vermilion, rust and Naples yellow laid over one another. Sandhya Kaushik lets the garden's architecture stay simple and geometric so the foliage can do all the work.

The most colour-saturated piece in the group. It carries a large wall on its own and warms a room with cool north light. This is one of four paintings Sandhya made of this subject — the light, the weather and the arrangement of the elements differ in each, and no two are the same picture.
