Artist Sandeep Chhatraband works in watercolor & acryilc on canvas and especially on ghats of the temples. While in college he did a lot of work in watercolor on various topics and techniques ranging from seascape, cityscapes to landscapes. The ‘Ghats of Varanasi’ are unique, tranquil as well as full of energy so he likes to depict the ghats of Varanasi in his paintings.

“The changing hues of Varanasi are so exciting that I experience vivid transformation every second. I found joy in on the spot painting at Ghats and have many on the spot works in my collection. The flow and crowd of people is so eloquent that it’s really fun to depict it. One more thing I noticed is how the difference that the minds of people wandering on Ghats are conquered by the religious thoughts which reflect in their activities and on faces and I love capturing those minds in watercolor and acrylic.”

He also paints on the theme of old Bombay in his own style invoking nostalgia.
