On some nights, when the moon rides high, the reflections of the ghats and buildings of Banaras glow with colour. Painted in Paresh Maity’s distinctive style and colours, this moonlit landscape of Banaras is a medley of houses and temples with a series of steps leading up from the riverfront. The light illuminates the landscape, lending it a magical quality that breathes life into a painting in which the presence of devotees is palpable for their absence.
