The painting "India I Was Here" is a mesmerizing fusion of colors, blending deep pink and ethereal blue hues that cascade across the canvas in a dreamlike symphony. At its core, the artwork presents a paradoxical juxtaposition of elements, bridging the realms of the cosmic and the earthly.

Amidst the cosmic matrix, a film actress from a bygone era is depicted, her gaze penetrating the fabric of time itself. Her presence is both haunting and transcendent, a spectral figure observing the world below from a vantage point beyond the constraints of linear time.

Beneath her celestial scrutiny unfolds a vivid street scene in Hyderabad, India, alive with bustling energy and vibrant chaos. Here, the surreal becomes reality as Lord Ganesh, the revered deity, dons a whimsical long suit, an unexpected fusion of tradition and modernity. His serene countenance contrasts with the dynamic cityscape, embodying both the ancient mythic origins and the contemporary essence of India.

The title, "India I Was Here," holds a profound significance. It suggests a departure from the linear confines of time, evoking a space where past, present, and future coalesce into a singular, timeless moment. The artwork acts as a portal, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a reverie where the boundaries between the everyday, the cosmic, and the mythic blur into an enchanting harmony.

As one gazes upon this surreal masterpiece, they are transported into a realm where imagination reigns supreme, prompting contemplation on the essence of existence, the cyclical nature of time, and the eternal presence of cultural heritage. It serves as a poetic ode to the rich tapestry of India's history, inviting us to embrace the enigmatic dance between tradition and innovation, inviting us to ponder what once was and what may yet be again.
