” Another senior artist, Hina Bhatt, said, “My work is a series called Rituraj. I have depicted the natural beauty of light in different reflections by showing how light penetrates through leaves using oil colours.” A visitor, Amritansh Singhal (medical student), said, “I really loved the exhibition because I am an art lover, and this is a wonderful step to remind people about admiring and conserving nature, which they have forgotten in the age of technology.
