Sanjay Lavakare was previously in Bengaluru's IT industry, but upon retiring as an engineer, he discovered his true passion for creating art. Despite being offered a sabbatical by his company after 16 years, he chose to pursue art full-time. Sanjay, who has been a regular participant in the Chithra Santhe event, showcases his latest artwork inspired by the spirit of Koramangala.

While some elements are readily recognizable, others require a bit of sleuthing to discover.
