Sanatan Mehta

First thing he did was showing his water colour paintings on Rajkot architecture. After some time he went away on his old Raleigh cycle. He was Sanatan mehta, an architect graduated from MSU who later on worked in Europe for many years. He walked into my class many times during those years and we used to have conversation on art and architecture. People said he was not mentally normal and they also said he came back from Europe mentally disturbed. Perhaps his reclusive nature and love for architecture and water colour painting must have made him look different for others. Every time he completed a painting of a building in Rajkot, he used to show me those paintings. He loved Rajkot and its architecture and he wanted to spent time painting them. Couple of years later after we met, he died of cardiac arrest. Sanatan Mehta was a wonderful artist. Today when I was clearing my old papers and this calendar brought out by one of the art lover in Rajkot came into my hand. Given below are some of his brilliant paintings of architecture.
