The aesthetic appeal in the graffiti is no less than any traditional form of Indian paintings. The strong message being portrayed through this medium touches the rawest and basic strings of the spectator. For a change, this art is not made for fame or materialistic gains. Inanimate walls turn into an organic being alive and speaking. It is created for conveying the surge of emotions that are the outcome of repression and neglect. As graffiti is not exclusive to some high-end art gallery, its accessibility makes it a form of affordable art.
