The dark hills covered with foliage stand silently on either side of the blue-green river. A tranquil stillness rings through their deep shadows and high peaks, which echo with solitude. Billowy clouds float gently across a cool blue sky. Strokes of white on the canvas create calm ripples over a gentle river. The Teesta glows welcomes the colours of the hills, mirroring its deep greens and darkness within its vast waters. It glows white in the distance, engaged in a camaraderie with the tint of the vast skies above.
