These works showed his wide and experimental approach. Prof Jai Krishna Agarwal, former principal of the College of Arts and Crafts, Lucknow University, shared his memories of Sanghal. He said Sanghal never made any compromises in art. "The joy of working with him was different. He was very disciplined and an experimental artist," Agarwal said.
