Leela-Kaar

Painter, Hotelier, Architect. There are many ways Shan Bhatnagar’s devotion takes form.

This film takes a look behind his work and into his journey. From business school in Germany, to now being one of the most prolific artists of the country.

His unique blend of modernist color use alongside traditional motifs make for art and spaces that invoke the same playful expression of Krishna throughout history that inspires him.

Despite the grand scale and recognition him and his art have reached, his inspirations remain modest and grounded.

A journey into what devotion is, what it means, and how one man found an answer that question.
