Guests were given a special walkthrough by the artist himself. The highlight of the artwork displayed at the exhibition space is the tribute paid by the artist to the spiritual ghats of Benaras, which have had a large impact on many of his artworks over the years. The artist\u2019s ode to Benaras was accentuated by a specially curated fashion show, on the theme of Benaras presented by ace designer, Chhaya Mehrotra a response to the installation \u2018Time Pas\u2019 at dusk amidst the breathtaking sunset view of the waterfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artists\u2019 single edition ceramics section, being showcased for the first time at Infinite Light, has been a major crowd puller during the Delhi, Mumbai and almost concluded Kolkata chapters. Maity\u2019s Mystic Abode, sculpted with 8,000 brass bells coated in metallic paint, will also be on display. Infinite Light\u2019s Goa Chapter spans a period of almost 40 days, up to the end of February, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
