Finally at 6.30pm, we were greeted by the sight of the finished spectacle. "We love colour" written on the ground adjacent to the wall which has "We love Dilli" written on it, in the same devanagari script and style. This piece was an extension of the mural on the wall; created by Hanif Kureshi himself, in collaboration with Lek and Sowat, for the Lodhi art district, as part of the St+art Delhi 2016 festival. A temporary piece, created on occasion of Holi, it draws upon the colours and chaos of the work on the wall, which in itself is a reflection of spirit of the festive season in India.
You are all set!
