Muttra (Mathura)

Muttra (Mathura) captures the vibrant life along the ghats of Mathura, India, with exquisite detail and atmospheric depth. The scene unfolds beside the Yamuna River, where figures in traditional attire gather near temple steps, shaded by ornate architecture. Weeks masterfully blends realism with romanticism, portraying bustling daily rituals against a backdrop of domes, arches, and water reflections.
