The colourful entrances to doors in India never go unnoticed. They add colour to the cityscape and lend a sense of identity to the land and its culture. Complete with lamps, thoranams, paintings on the wall and kolams before it, these doorways are a wonderful sight. 

This beautiful doorway of the Darwaza series is made using watercolours. The original paintings of this series were made as part of The Sketchbook Project of the Brooklyn Art Library.

Each door in this series is inspired by doors across India and comes with a personal touch in terms of elements like colour, aesthetics and so on. Every painting also has a woman donning traditional or contemporary apparel - capturing a little of the vast cultural fabric of the country.

The concept has a deeper significance as well. The doors lead you to new beginnings with every woman standing on the threshold of a new life. There is an element of positivity and hope in every painting! :)

Kindly note: The prints are not framed and do not come with mounting. They are printed on high quality paper and are carefully packed.
