Knot possible: Even as law denies same-sex couples the right to marry in India, art is imagining and celebrating such unions

Indian artists are using their work to advance marriage equality discussions. Aksh Diwan Garg's paintings depict wedding guests, highlighting exclusion and belonging. Shakibul Islam's art celebrates parenthood and love over societal biases. Children's books by Ameya Narvankar and Lavanya Karthik feature lesbian couples. These artists portray queer love and its possibilities within everyday Indian life.
