Gandhi Ji, a well-known liberation fighter in the Indian freedom struggle, serves as the composition's central element. Gandhi's figure is surrounded by flora, fauna, and other ecological elements, giving his artwork a visually complex and rich quality. His characters can all be seen wearing flowy clothing, floating in the air, and coexisting with plants and animals in a strange dreamscape of magical realism. Gandhi Ji's message of peace and harmony has been meticulously captured by the artist and conveyed to the viewer in this work.
