I have never seen anything like it. Does it have a special purpose or significance? would love to know. Thanks

Hey Fatama,
Yeah the purpose is to reclaim our public walls by beautifying them. This also stops people from dirtying them with pee or posters or spit or garbage. In loads of countries there are several such public initiatives; there is St+art – do look it up.
New Delhi has loads of such quirky murals and I have been planning a post on it for long……
This one in the post is in Bangalore and is by a very famous artist who also belongs to Bangalore. This wall is in a popular hub for selling flowers; this market starts at 2.00 am till abt 7 a.m. every morning. Watch out for a post on this soon on my blog!

Thank you for sharing. Our New York State city of Rochester (about 3 hour drive from where I live) has a lot of urban murals – for much the same reason.

I know there is a drive in Delhi too to reclaim the walls. Happy to see somebody taking an action to beautify our infrastructure!
