Couple’s Loving Ride: Kalighat Art by Bapi Chitrakar

Bapi Chitrakar portrays a charming scene of a couple embarking on a leisurely bicycle journey through a lush and vibrant town. The central focus of the composition is the man, who skillfully steers the bicycle, propelling them both forward. The woman, adorned in a resplendent red saree, sits gracefully at the front of the bicycle, adding a striking contrast to the lush greenery of the town. The townscape that serves as the backdrop is a visual symphony of colours and life. Tall, swaying trees and a profusion of blooming flowers create a picturesque, almost dreamlike setting. The man’s face beams with joy as he navigates the winding paths, exuding a sense of confidence and adventure. The woman, her saree flowing with the wind, appears equally content, her eyes filled with wonder and adoration for the journey and her partner. The artwork is a celebration of love, togetherness, and the simple yet profound joys of life, all set against the backdrop of a flourishing, idyllic town.
