A Luminous Legacy: Kashmir Through the Watercolours of Manohar Kaul

New Delhi, 1992

Welcome to the digital gallery showcasing the exquisite paintings from Manohar Kaul's landmark 1992 exhibition, Mystique of the Moon. This collection transports viewers to the serene landscapes of Kashmir, captured in a series of breathtaking watercolours. Each work reflects Kaul's masterful ability to evoke the tranquil and ethereal beauty of the valley at night, using a palette of soft hues and delicate brushstrokes. Rather than merely depicting scenes, these paintings are meditations on memory and light, offering a deeply personal and emotional interpretation of a beloved landscape. The gallery is a journey into the heart of a region as seen through the gentle, moonlit lens of a master artist.
