Being from Assam, renowned Indian contemporary artist and academic Munindra Narayan Bhattacharyya is widely recognized for his vital contributions to contemporary Indian socio-political visual culture. Philosophical reflection, innovation, and a profound engagement with classic forms are all evident in his collection of work. In Assam, Munindra Narayan Bhattacharyya is a highly renowned poet, visual artist, and educationist. Focusing on Bhattacharyya's use of symbolism, colour, and shape, this research study examines the distinctive qualities of his artistic achievements. The study examines how his work combines aesthetic beauty, socio-political significance, and symbolism to support his status as a key figure in contemporary Indian art. To better comprehend Bhattacharyya's artistic creations, the study examines the ways in which bureaucrats torment the general populace; as a result, his paintings are just like research work.
