Many artists have captured in their art the essence of holy cities of India, fascinated by the colours and the vibrancy of these places. The Holy City of Haridwar by Kanwal Krishna shows the energy and the hustle-bustle of an area of one of the holiest cities for Hindus. The soft and controlled brushstrokes, the gentleness of the colour application on paper, and the attention to detail in showing the people, the buildings, canopies, among several other elements, reveal the artist’s rich command on the visual language.
