Eternal Harmony – Solo Show

Contemporary artist Sabita Dangol’s 8th Solo Art Exhibition at Gallery 108, Durbarmarg, Kathmandu, featuring selected paintings and drawings created from 2018–2026

On the occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, artist Savita Dangol’s solo art exhibition ‘Eternal Harmony – Unsacred Union’ has begun at Gallery 108 on Durbarmarg, Kathmandu.

When the exhibition, which began on Friday, reached its conclusion on Saturday, it was apparent that artist Dangol had presented the love, devotion, beauty, and spiritual relationship between Radha and Krishna through contemporary art.

The artworks in the exhibition attempt to combine mythological stories and spiritual sentiments with modern artistic language. Shri Krishna Janmashtami is considered a reminder of divine presence and eternal love.

In this emotional context, Dangol’s paintings interpret the Radha-Krishna relationship not just as a love story but as a symbol of intimacy, dedication, and spiritual unity.

The title of the exhibition, ‘Eternal Harmony’, also alludes to the eternal love and harmony inherent in the Radha-Krishna relationship. The artist’s creations reinterpret traditional religious and cultural imagery from a contemporary perspective.

The opening ceremony held on Friday evening was attended by an audience interested in art and creativity. On Saturday, the second day of the exhibition, there were also many spectators viewing the artworks displayed in the gallery.

The artworks in the exhibition visually present the relationship between religious faith and art, and inspire viewers to think about the various emotions and meanings of the Radha-Krishna relationship.

Notably, the organizers have stated that 10 percent of the sales proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to the Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund for the flood victims in Bhotekoshi. This connects the exhibition with social responsibility along with artistic presentation.

The exhibition ‘Eternal Harmony – A Sacred Union’ will be held from 4 September to 4 October 2026 at Gallery 108, Durbar Marg. The exhibition can be viewed from 11 am to 7 pm.

In ‘Affair of Heart’, the motifs such as a peacock and makkar (a mythical being) are on the heads of two people. And both heads are carried by the comb underneath. “The purpose of a comb is to untangle the tangled hair, so metaphorically speaking, it signifies resolving problems. This is why I have been using the comb as a symbol that solves the problem and brings harmony to various entities.”
