Step into the timeless rhythm of Narayan Peth, Pune with this beautifully detailed black & white monochromatic urban heritage sketch by artist Gajanan Kurkute.

One of Pune’s oldest and most culturally rooted neighbourhoods, Narayan Peth was developed during the Peshwa era in the 18th century, when the city expanded into a network of iconic peths that still define old Pune’s identity today. Through narrow lanes, traditional wada façades, wooden balconies, temple spires, and the movement of daily life, this sketch preserves the lived memory of a neighbourhood where history still breathes through every street corner.

Rendered in a refined monochromatic style, the artwork draws out the textures that make Narayan Peth unforgettable—aged walls, shadowed verandas, old signboards, bicycles, pedestrians, and the intimate scale of a locality shaped by generations. The black & white treatment amplifies the architectural geometry and nostalgic stillness, turning the ordinary street into a timeless collector’s piece.

Known for his meditative line work and sensitivity toward heritage spaces, Gajanan Kurkute.
transforms Narayan Peth into a visual memory of old Pune’s soul—not just as architecture, but as lived city life.
