To ponder over Rithika Merchant’s richly detailed paintings is to go down a rabbit hole. Hybrid creatures—half-human, half-animal—totemic iconography and botanical imagery populate the strange and fantastical worlds that this artist dreams up.
Working out of her studio in Barcelona, she employs the gauche and ink technique on stained paper to achieve desaturated or muted colours that lend each of her creations an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality.

If in Bombay, you can check out some of her work at @tarqmumbai. It’s part of the really cool group show titled Osmosis, curated by @shaleenwadhwana

Hi, nice, well-written. Did the ad guy Prahlad Kakkar too have some similar tea house a while ago? Also would it be possible to have some rate indication? Enjoyed the article, nice and informative. Thanks.

Thanks!
I think you may be referring to Tea Centre in South Mumbai? This tea boutique, however, is more of a retail concept with plenty to choose from at really great prices. You can have a look at the website aapkipasandtea.com for more information.
