other worldlyness of a Jain Temple at night

Everywhere you turn the potential for something magical appears. This view was glimpsed from the window of a contemporary art gallery.

Most of Tuesday was spent at a series of panel discussions on contemporary art issues sponsored by the Harrington Centre. It was a good excuse to meet people and reconnect with artist and students I met when I was here in 2007.  The discussions were also a good insight into the art scene, which appears to be alive and well here in Kolkata.
