30th November 2025, evening, witnessed the first session of Khichik: The Art Gallery — led by Abhinav Raj, initially discussing how painting is still an emblem of Indian classical form of memory and representation. We attempted to dive into the two immortal paintings of Raja Ravi Varma – Stolen Interview and A Woman Holding a Fruit.

The session transformed into a powerhouse of ideas, elevated significantly by Dr. Tulika Tripathi and our engaged audience, whose keen interventions and perspectives unlocked new layers of meaning in every brushstroke.

A well-spent Sunday of worthwhile dialogue and nuanced perspectives! Thank you all for making our first session a triumph! Click here to get the full PPT:
