Set in Mumbai; a city in the state of Maharashtra, India, this work shows the division created by a sector of train tracks dividing the locality of Sion, a reputed neighborhood locally known as “the end of the city” and Dharavi, a suburb in Mumbai and the largest slum in the world, endangered by gentrification. Dharavi houses approximately 1 million people, while having an area of just over 2 square kilometers.
Westernization and the Day of Shiva In this painting, The 1313 on the front of the local train is symbolic of the opposite beliefs of the West and of India. While 13 is unlucky in Western countries, it is a lucky number in India, representing the day of Shiva . While this is true in India, many residential and corporate buildings in India do not include a 13th floor, contrary to Indian belief. While this is a small aspect of the matter, it is a part of a large influential move of westernization through India.
Laxmi Situated in the foreground of the painting is a cow representing the cow that Vismay Sanghavi saw during his tour, deciding to have it represent the Goddess Laxmi standing in the slum. On the other side of the tracks are the cows that roam the streets of westernized districts like Sion, motivated by Laxmi to cross the tracks while the train stands still.
