Echoes of time - Bhaiyaji in the Land of The Great Sphinx by Deepeeka Sharma in New Delhi

Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Great Sphinx of Giza, bhaiyaji is portrayed in a blend of Indian and Egyptian attire, holding a sistrum—an ancient Egyptian musical instrument. The golden sands and monumental forms in the background contrast with his familiar facial expression, grounding the exotic with the familiar. Through this juxtaposition, the painting captures the timeless wonder of Egypt while reflecting the curiosity of a simple man placed in the cradle of ancient civilization.
