Gallery FPH: Mamta Chitnis Sen's 'Rural Delights' Brings The Vanishing Beauty Of Konkan To Mumbai · freepressjournal.in

An artist named Mamta Chitnis Sen made a big art show called 'Rural Delights'.

It is happening in a city called Mumbai, in India.

The paintings show the Konkan region, a beautiful green area in the state of Maharashtra.

They show villages, farms, and the people who live there.

Many of the paintings are about women farmers who work in the fields.

The artist used a special tool called a palette knife to make thick, colorful paint strokes.

The pictures are bright and full of flowers and trees.

But the show also has a serious message: the countryside is changing and some of these places may disappear.

The artist wants people to enjoy the beauty of Konkan and remember it.

The show is open from August 16 to August 30, 2026.
