The exhibition showcases a stunning new collection of original oil paintings that capture the eternal soul of Varanasi with its majestic ghats, sacred temples, bustling river life, and the divine presence of Lord Shiva. What makes these works truly unique is Sandilya’s signature technique: every painting is created using holy Ganga Jal (water from the sacred River Ganges) instead of regular water. This sacred medium infuses each canvas with spiritual energy, devotion, and the living essence of Kashi, turning every stroke into a meditative prayer.
“Ganga Jal is not just a medium for me but is a form of devotion,” says Santosh Kumar Sandilya. “Before I touch the brush, I purify the canvas with the holy waters of Ma Ganga. Each painting carries the timeless beauty, heritage, and divine energy of Banaras and Lord Shiva. Through ‘Timeless Kashi,’ I want viewers to feel the same peace, power, and spirituality that I experience every time I paint on the banks of the Ganges.”
The exhibition features large-scale landscapes and intricate scenes of Varanasi’s ghats, temples, boats, and evening aartis, all brought to life with vibrant colors and luminous light. Visitors will experience the mystical aura of Kashi, the world’s oldest living city, as never before, with the holy Ganga literally flowing through the artworks.
This show was inaugurated on 27th April 2026 by Honourable Guest Mr. Rajendra Patil(Director of India Art Festival), Mr. Prakash Bal Joshi(Eminent Artist), Mr. Sumeet Rajani(Owner of Reach Out Gallery) among others.
Santosh Kumar Sandilya, a distinguished alumnus of Banaras Hindu University’s Lalit Kala Department, has earned global acclaim for transforming painting into a sacred ritual. His works have been exhibited across India and abroad, and he is widely recognized for preserving and promoting the spiritual and cultural heritage of Varanasi through art.
This is a rare opportunity for art lovers, collectors, and devotees to own a piece of living heritage, paintings blessed by the holy waters of the Ganges.
