Last week I completed this work with oil pastel and watercolour. I was enthralled by the beauty of Ganges when I visited  Agarpara Giribala Temple Ghat complex last week. I instantly decided that I should paint this view on that very day. I am happy that I have  kept my word . The place is very nice and cool,perfect for open air painting and sketching . Adjacent Giribala temple complex is also very calm and quiet.

 The beauty of the river Ganges in Kolkata has  always inspired me a lot. I  like to sit for hours for the open air painting beside the riverside. The environment is calm,cool and green here, perfect for doing sketching and painting works. The Calcutta port is nearby so we can watch many kinds of ships here.............very inspiring
