A striking display area is the Chowk of the Pousada where paintings are hung across the white walls of the Internal Courtyard circling the Tulus. The brown terracotta double tiles of the Verandah Roof, the granite mosaic floor and a curious mix of artificial and natural light filtering through the open “Chowk” has a surreal and eclectic effect on the Art on display.
