Inspired by these many facets of the area, artist Sameer Kulavoor has created a limited edition set art prints called Kalaghoda Musings. The accordian folds open to a 13 inch x 38 inch print in black and white, which we are looking forward to framing and mounting as a prized possession on our wall. Kulavoor drops in various landmarks from the locality like The Bombay Stock Exchange building, Jehangir Art Gallery, and other memorable icons from the locality, be it cast iron lamps at Horniman circle Garden, cutting chai glass holders and footpath sleepers. The black and white illustration is a limited edition print.
