Darji introduced his original style in 1982 which he called a Touch of Class; this brought his first exhibition in India which sold out in just four days, elevating his sublimely individual style to become nationally renowned.

His Indian period works are a rendition of forms without contrived design; the black line upon the white used in hatches, in swirls, in building up of complex textures which perfectly captures the bright colours of the people of India, their vivid engagement with life and the power of their emotional responses.

The black and white style, with a touch of colour, is unique for Indian art and gained great notoriety in the country and internationally. 

In his later works, contact with the thriving Asian community in England caused Darji to return to his roots, with an exciting fusion of the Eastern and Western streams of his work.
