Finally a visit to GovtMuseumChandigarh after having lived in the city for 4 decades and playing tennis next door at CLTA. The old school charm of Chandigarh and it's simplicity at its best.

This is the best version I could find of this delightful painting. I wish the paintings in the Chandigarh Museum were digitized and made available online.
Watching you Salman Rashid showcase Taxila, it reminded me about these handsome fellas of Gandhar Art now residing at GovtMuseumChandigarh. From the drapery to the ornaments in the hair, I went back twice just to look at this Boddhisattava.
So I tried something new on Instagram today - 😃 because I miss meeting & talking to humans at the museum soooo much!!! #Gandhara Collection of the .GovtMuseumChandigarh that India received during the #Partition of 1947.
Moon ji,
