Tulshibag Raam Mandir Wada


Posting after a long time...

Last month we visited Tulshibag Ram Mandir cosecutively on two weekends.. What can I say about this place? Its a very old temple of lord Raam surrounded by an old two-three storey houses (typically called wada in local language). I don't know much about the history but it must have been built during Peshwa era around 18th century.. I have fond childhood memories of this temple but as I started sketching I actually noticed so much beauty in and around it. This place is surrounded by small shops famously known as tulshibag and adjacent to it is another architectural beauty - mandai (vegetable market). Amidst all this chaos you feel so peaceful and quiet as soon as you enter the premises of this temple.

First two paintings are done on the spot and rest are done afterwards at home from photos. Quite happy with both the outcomes :))

  Gardens in Pune Summer mornings are refreshing in our city... March is the season of spring and you get to see new lemonish yellow  leaves sprouting and colorful flowers blooming everywhere.. this month I explored gardens near me to capture that crisp light before it gets too harsh and the beauty of spring on my paper.. I couldn't do justice to the scenery but attempted to catch those moments.. soft morning light falling on the ground creating long shadows and filtering through leaves making them shine bright..some dense trees making dark canopy above but early morning light still paasing in between the trunks and another piece of composition is formed just in front of your eyes.. so much more to explore around..no need to travel far... for now😊..........
