Sacred Realms: Paintings answer why you need to preserve nature and culture

The canvas is surrounded by barren hills in hues of brown, black, grey, dark green and more. On top of these hills is a mountain range covered by white snow. The bottom of these hills forms a dark gorge that is filled with boulders and pebbles, which look like a dried-up water source. Then, on a huge paper boat, there resides the famous temple of Pokhara , Tal Barahi, floating on the water.

The painting Fewa Lake Existing by artist Binod Pradhan is one among 21 paintings displayed in the exhibition titled Sacred Realms at Siddhartha Art Gallery , Babermahal, with a theme of preserving and promoting nature and culture.
