Style
Panda's work, writes Sundhya Walther, "combines influences from Odissi artistic traditions with images and contexts from his adopted home, Delhi. His pieces are concerned with the daily experiences of modern life in India, but he imbues these representations with a utopian sensibility, expressed through a deliberate beauty that eschews much of the darkness usually associated with contemporary representations of urban life in India, in visual art and in literature." ==Selected exhibitions==
