The sweeps of burnt sienna with subtle hints of grey encapsulate some deeper and darker aspects of the holy city of Banaras. These aspects have had a prominent impact on Ram Kumar, as Banaras is a city where life and death has no meaning. It is both a visual and a psychological experience. This peace reveals melancholy. He used his brush to convey the sorrow of the widows, the funeral pyres, and the mass of humanity.
