There is agentle transparency, a lyrical fluidity, a dreamlike impressionwhen reality is rendered in watercolours. Malvika Singh In the words of Ravi Batra There is perhaps no other road inDelhi, or even the whole world, which connects, over a distance ofjust four kilometres, a unique heritage gateways, mosques, tombs,gardens and even a step-well and a bridge.
