Great photos, @AtharvaTheExplorer !
Is this actually a street where graffiti is encouraged or just a high volume of street artists tag there?
@JordanSB @Yeah the artists were encouraged to show their art on the busy street of Mumbai. The main reason was to keep the highway and surrounding clean. People often spit at the road side in India, to avoid this people and organisations are coming up with such ideas. You’ll see such prominent art works at Highways, Railway station, public toilets and other prime public locations

I am happy to know that you liked the pictures. I used the camera on my Nokia 7 plus with google camera mod for taking these photos. The graffiti are drawn on the walls of the Western Express Highway shortened as WEH, it is a national highway that connects several metropolitan cities of India. It is one of the most busy and noisy road of the city, with usual traffic jams and continuous honking of the vehicles. In all of this daily hustle the thing that catches everyone’s eye are this graffiti which makes people admire the art and creativity. The hard work behind these beautiful artwork makes people think before littering and spitting on the walls of the street. I think this is the most innovative solution for keeping the cities clean and encouraging art among the citizens.
Wow, so interesting road. Thank you for your information.
Have a nice day, I am waiting to see your new post telling us about your experience here.
