I recently visited Bindu ,a beautiful  Indian hill-village situated near Indo- Bhutan border, West Bengal . I was really enthralled with the beauty of the nature there. Jaldhaka river was flowing endlessly. The place is surrounded by hills. The day was sunny. While roaming ,this beautiful wooden cottage grabbed  my attention. I instantly decided  that I should paint this beautiful scene.
