A Vrindavan ghat on the Yamuna at the end of the day. The left bank rises in warm pink and ochre temple buildings, a tall shikhara at the back and a pair of golden domed pavilions, or chhatris, marking the waterfront. Bright umbrellas in red, green and yellow shade the steps, where small figures stand and walk down to the river. A single empty wooden boat noses into the foreground, and the wide Yamuna stretches off to a hazy skyline at right, holding the sky in long gold and grey reflections. Sandhya Kaushik builds the architecture in warm palette-knife blocks of rose, ochre and gold, then drags the water thin so the sunset reads as molten light.

The warm stone and open water give a calm, expansive close-of-day feeling. It opens up a living room, a bedroom, or a wide wall above a long sofa.
