Nature lover Pan discovers subject matters from nature and his surroundings and explores new drawing techniques while getting inspiration from the traditional. The painting, in horizontal scroll format, starts with nature in rich details. The story unfolds as the beholders move along the work. The minute details of calligraphy, fine lines of drawing, fresh use of colours and the composition show the artist's skill and it took him nine years to consider this painting done.
