From December 1–6, 2025, U.S.-based artist Anisha Sanghani brings her inspiring exhibition “Manthan—Let the Churn Begin Within You” to Mumbai. With oceans occupying 71% of our planet, Sanghani uses the Samudra Manthan myth to reimagine Earth’s vast waters as sites of both crisis and transformation.

This edition of “Manthan” focuses on plastic suffocation, portraying turtles navigating choking debris, fish trapped in drifting nets, and mythological figures gasping under symbolic coils of waste. Yet Sanghani’s luminous palettes offer a sense of hope—suggesting that awareness can spark change.
Her mixed-media artistry weaves textures with radiant strokes, showing that beauty can exist even in struggle. Sanghani’s own immersion experiment—submerging with plastic on her face—deepened her resolve to speak for silent marine beings. “Their lungs became my lesson,” she reflects.

“Manthan” stands as an invitation: to awaken, introspect, and begin the conscious inner churning needed to protect the waters we rely on.
