Location of the art mural;
Chowrasta Road in George Town is a busy road during the morning due to the Chowrasta Market that is located there. It is one of the roads surrounding the Chowrasta Market, which was established by local Indian traders in the 19th century. The word “chowrasta” was found to actually refer to “four crossroads”, likely pointing towards the four roads surrounding the market.
Every corner and alley of George Town can be seen as a portrait of forgotten time and history.
