00:00There is a room in Meerut's Indirapuram that is dimly lit. When you walk inside you first notice
00:05a stash of empty beer cans right next to the door. It's not a big room 10 feet by 12 feet
00:10according to some estimates but nothing captures your attention more than this. A heavily stylized
00:16demonic figure with a pentagram skull and the number 666. The wings dripping blood and chains
00:23suggest gothic or satanic imagery. The overall aesthetic looks aggressive it exudes a very
00:29dark fantasy very occult symbolism kind of vibe. On another wall is this a small figure sitting on
00:35a ledge with hearts above while another figure is climbing a rope towards them. The artwork seems to
00:40convey themes of longing loneliness or connection. The simplistic sketchy nature adds a melancholic
00:46touch some might conclude. Then there is this work that appears heavy on psychedelic slash
00:52alien themes. The phrase you can't trip with us suggests a countercultural reference.
00:57The alien head next to the text adds a surreal extraterrestrial vibe. The dipping font style
01:03resembles a melting effect commonly associated with psychedelic experiences but in the west
01:08it's a pretty common slogan on psychedelia merchandise. Then the Shiva illustrations. This
01:13one is a detailed drawing of Lord Shiva featuring a trident snake and rudraksh beads. The Adiyogi
01:20reference here reinforces the spiritual theme as Shiva is often called the first yogi. There are
01:25small artistic elements around the drawings such as birds hearts and branches blending traditional
01:30and modern aesthetics. On the wall next to it is another illustration of the Adiyogi in a style
01:36more popular today. There is also a Ganesha sketch something that an art critic might find minimalist
01:41yet artistic. Then there is what appears to be a recreation of Michelangelo's creation of Adam
01:47but instead of divine touch it depicts the passing of a joint. The presence of smoke further cements
01:53the countercultural possibly stoner inspired theme. This is the room of Sahil Pandey. He was
01:59arrested on 18th March 2025 for having colluded with his friend Muskaan to kill her husband Saurabh
02:05two weeks earlier.
