Sarangi — Song of the Gandharba
Hand-carved from a single block of wood and strung to sing, the sarangi is the heartbeat of the Gandharba musical tradition. This painting holds that warmth in saturated reds and earth tones, framing the instrument as a living storyteller rather than a museum piece.

Story behind the piece
A vivid study of the sarangi, the four-stringed bowed instrument carried for generations by Nepal's wandering Gandharba minstrels, painted as a portrait of sound itself.
