This mixed-media artwork depicts a man in traditional Rajasthani attire seated and playing a flute, with a miniature skyscraper placed before him. The composition positions the man slightly off-centre, while the skyscraper serves as a striking focal point. Behind them, handwritten text and a stamp form the background, suggesting the surface of a document or certificate.

The man is rendered with detailed features, wearing vibrant Rajasthani attire, including a colourful turban and an orange-red kurta. His expression is calm and focused, evoking a moment of concentration. The skyscraper introduces an abstract, symbolic contrast between tradition and modernity.

The style blends miniature painting techniques with collage and digital layering. Intricate detailing in clothing, accessories, and the building highlights craftsmanship, while the text and stamp add cultural and historical context.

The color palette is vibrant yet balanced, with diffused lighting emphasizing the man and skyscraper. The overall mood is serene and contemplative, combining elements of heritage, symbolism, and modern artistic experimentation to create a layered, thought-provoking composition
