NITAI DAS

Nitai Das’s art emerges from India’s remarkable continuity between its epic past, living traditions, and rapidly changing present. Born in Ranir Bazaar, Tripura, and raised in a culturally rich environment, Das developed an artistic language deeply rooted in Indian heritage while remaining open to influences from the wider world. His education at Santiniketan and later professional journey with Doordarshan took him across different cultural landscapes, yet his connection with his roots remained strong.

In his recent works, mythology, spirituality, folklore, and contemporary life come together in compelling visual narratives. Images of Shiva, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Christ, Chaitanya, Pandavvani traditions, and even contemporary figures appear alongside farmers, performers, students, and travellers. Through these juxtapositions, Das explores love, conflict, faith, identity, and the complexities of modern existence.

His practice recalls the humanistic traditions of artists such as Jamini Roy, Gaganendranath Tagore, and Ramkinkar Baij. Like a modern-day patua of Tripura, Nitai Das transforms deeply local experiences into universal stories, creating art that remains authentic, rooted, and globally resonant.

D. N. BARASKAR 

N. Baraskar’s photography discovers the extraordinary within the quiet rhythms of everyday life. His lens is drawn to the particular light of rural India—the glow of dusk over a village, a craftswoman completing her work, or boats returning beneath a changing sky. Rather than seeking spectacle, Baraskar observes with patience and reverence, revealing the dignity of labour, landscape, and human presence. His images possess a contemplative stillness, allowing ordinary moments to unfold naturally before the viewer. Working beyond the metropolitan gallery circuit, he brings an authentic, unhurried sensitivity to his subjects, transforming familiar scenes into evocative reflections on time, place, and memory.

PRALAY DUTTA 

Pralay Dutta works in a register entirely different from the figurative and photographic idioms around him at this show, his is the language of pure abstraction, built from architecture rather than anecdote. In his canvases, geometric planes of grey, white and charcoal collide with sudden eruptions of red, ochre and electric blue, as though a city had been dismantled into its constituent moods and reassembled without regard for gravity. There is something of the urban excavation in his method: blocks stacked and half erased, a horizon line broken by a black bar, colour pooling like memory in the crevices between forms.

Dutta’s abstraction never entirely abandons structure, verticals and rectilinear shapes hold the composition together even as the paint itself seems to want to dissolve them. It is tempting to read in this tension something of the Indian city itself, perpetually under construction and demolition at once, its heat and dust rendered here in oxide reds and cool greys. Where the other artists in this show anchor themselves in figure and landscape, Dutta insists that emotion and place can be conveyed just as precisely through colour and form alone.

SUBHASH ROY 

Subhash Roy’s paintings sit at the meeting point of figuration and dissolution, his subjects, usually women draped in soft fabric, emerge from and recede back into fields of wet, blended colour as if photographed mid exposure. In Unspoken Bonds, three women lean into each other, their faces softened almost to abstraction, the emotional weight of the painting carried less by expression than by proximity and posture, the unspoken bond of the title made visible simply through how close the bodies stand. In Nature’s Embrace, the figure gives way almost entirely to landscape, human form and organic shape becoming indistinguishable, blues and ochres running into each other like tributaries.

Roy’s technique, loose, atmospheric, willing to let the paint bleed past its own outlines, puts him closer to the lyrical abstractionists than to the hard edged colourists elsewhere in this exhibition. What holds his work together is intimacy: even at his most abstract, there is always a suggestion of touch, of bodies near each other, of feeling withheld just below the surface of the paint.

The participating artists intend to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of artworks in this exhibition towards the welfare and relief of the flood-affected people of Assam.

This show was inaugurated on 1^st September 2026 by Honourable Guests Shri. Rajendra Patil, President – The Bombay Art Society, Director – India Art Festival, Vinita Mirchandani, Owner of Studio 3 Gallery, Shri. Prakash Bal Joshi Eminent Artist & Chairman, Artists Centre Art Gallery, Shri. Prayag Shukla, Art Critic, Poet, Curator

The Indo Nicaragua Film and Cultural Forum will work as a bridge between the creative communities of both countries and will facilitate greater interaction, exchange programmes, film screenings, joint productions, festivals and cultural initiatives.”

Dr. Marwah further added that the Forum would provide a platform for filmmakers, artists, media professionals, students and cultural organisations from India and Nicaragua to explore new avenues of collaboration. “We are committed to using the power of media and entertainment to promote Love, Peace and Unity Through Art and Culture,” he said.

H.E. Ms. Nadeska Imara Cuthbert Carlson, Ambassador of Nicaragua, welcomed the initiative and expressed her appreciation for the launch of the Forum. She said, “Culture is a powerful bridge between nations. Nicaragua and India may be geographically distant, but through art, cinema, music and cultural exchange, we can bring our people much closer. I am very pleased to be part of this initiative and look forward to seeing stronger cooperation between our creative communities.”

The Ambassador also highlighted the richness of Nicaragua’s cultural heritage and expressed her desire to promote greater awareness of Nicaragua in India and India in Nicaragua. She said that the Forum could become an important platform for young filmmakers, artists and cultural ambassadors of both nations to meet, learn from each other and develop meaningful collaborations.

The launch was attended by media personalities, filmmakers, academicians, diplomats, artists and students. The formation of the Indo Nicaragua Film and Cultural Forum is expected to open new avenues for joint cultural programmes, film festivals, screenings, workshops, artistic exchanges, tourism promotion and professional collaborations between India and Nicaragua.

The Forum will work under the aegis of ICMEI with the objective of further strengthening friendship, understanding and cooperation between the people of India and Nicaragua through the creative power of cinema and culture.

Dr. Debojeet Lahiri Vasudev — The Musical Visionary Turning Talent Into Legacy !

In an industry where talent may open doors but vision creates lasting impact, Dr. Debojeet Lahiri, professionally known as Vasudev, has carved a distinctive identity as a musician, composer, music educator, mentor and entrepreneur. With more than three decades of experience in the music and entertainment industry, he represents a rare blend of artistic passion, academic excellence and entrepreneurial leadership.

Recently Debojeet is nominated for the most prestigious and first time in the world to HONOUR PARENTS OF THE GLOBE ! MOM DAD GOD OF UNIVERSE NATIONAL AWARD 2026, SEASON 3, TOBE HELD IN MUMBAI !

Born in Kharagpur, West Bengal, Dr. Lahiri discovered his profound connection with music and the performing arts at an early age. What began as an instinctive love for music gradually evolved into a lifelong mission. Through formal musical training and years of practical experience, he expanded his horizons beyond performance and composition, eventually earning a Doctorate in Music Administration—a qualification that reflects his commitment to bringing structure, education and leadership to the creative ecosystem.

As Vasudev, Dr. Lahiri has worked across diverse dimensions of the entertainment world. His journey has connected him with educational institutions, performers, artists and industry professionals, enabling him to contribute to music education, artist development, cultural programmes, workshops, live performances and mentorship initiatives. His greatest strength lies in his ability to bridge two worlds: the disciplined environment of academic learning and the dynamic reality of the entertainment industry.

For aspiring musicians and performers, Dr. Lahiri is more than a mentor. He is a catalyst. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that genuine artistic growth requires not only technical skill, but also confidence, discipline, exposure and opportunity.

His entrepreneurial vision found powerful expression through Melody Monks Entertainments, founded with a focus on music production, artist management, celebrity coordination and cultural events. The venture reflects his understanding of the modern entertainment landscape and his determination to create meaningful platforms for creative talent.

Equally significant is his work through the Anugrahan Education Foundation, established to promote music education and create creative opportunities for underprivileged communities. Here, his mission extends beyond the stage—to making the transformative power of music accessible to those who may otherwise never receive the opportunity to explore their potential.

His growing list of honours further reflects the recognition surrounding his multifaceted contribution.

Among his recent distinctions are the Shiksha Ratna Samman, National Prestige Award, International Icon Award, Pride of Nation Award, Indian Challengers Award, Iconic Business Award, Pride of Excellence, Prime Impact Achievers Award, ISAMRA Recognition, Dadasaheb Phalke Motivational Award, Best Teacher Award – Siksha Ratna, Rashtra Nayak Samman, Youth World Indian Icon Award, Nelson Mandela International Excellence Award, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewa Ratna Samman, Param Bhushan National Excellence Award, and recognition from The Indian Performing Right Society Limited. He has also received an honorary doctorate from the American Merit Council, among several other recognitions.

With the upcoming Iconic Artist of the Year – 2026 recognition by Hindustan Book of Records adding another milestone to his journey, Dr. Debojeet Lahiri continues to move forward with remarkable purpose.

For Vasudev, music is not merely an art form—it is education, empowerment, entrepreneurship and emotion. And his greatest composition may well be the legacy he is creating by helping others find their own voice.

Navigating The Terrain: Suhail Shafi Young Srinagar Entrepreneur Triumphs Over Supply Chain Bottlenecks.

Exclusive Story : RAJA SARFARAZ J&K Srinagar

In the heart of Kashmir, where traditional craftsmanship meets evolving modern tastes, a 26-year-old visionary is making significant strides in the fashion accessory industry. Suhail Shafi, son of Mohammad Shafi Dandroo and a resident of Qamarwari, Srinagar, is fast becoming the face of youth-led enterprise in the Valley. As the driving force behind The Lace Bloom by M S Enterprises & Co, Shafi is successfully transforming a traditional business model into a highly competitive, customer-centric fashion powerhouse.

Honoring the Roots, Expanding the Horizon Every great venture has a heartbeat, and for Shafi, it stems from familial inspiration. Driven by his father’s relentless dedication, Shafi chose to step into the entrepreneurial arena not just to sustain a business, but to elevate a legacy.”I was deeply inspired by the strong foundation my family built over the years,” Shafi states. “As a young entrepreneur, my goal is to carry that legacy forward. By introducing fresh ideas, optimizing the customer experience, and expanding our market reach, we are bridging the gap between time-tested trust and modern market demands.

“The Fabric of Innovation Operating in both retail and wholesale sectors, The Lace Bloom has carved out a distinct niche for itself. The brand specializes in high-quality tailoring materials, intricate laces, avant-garde patches, elegant stoles, and vibrant dupattas.In a market often caught between skyrocketing prices and compromised quality.

Shafi’s business philosophy stands out for its clarity: delivering premium fashion accessories and garment embellishments at highly competitive prices. By keeping a firm finger on the pulse of changing consumer trends, the enterprise ensures that local designers and everyday consumers alike have access to world-class styling materials without a prohibitive price tag.

Weathering the Valley’s Business Climate Entrepreneurship in Kashmir is a test of true resilience. Shafi is candid about the structural hurdles that come with the territory. Businesses in the region frequently grapple with complex transportation networks, supply chain bottlenecks, seasonal market shifts, and unforeseen disruptions caused by harsh weather conditions.Yet, where others see roadblocks, Shafi sees an arena for strategic adaptability.

“These challenges are undeniable, but they are not insurmountable,” Shafi explains with seasoned conviction. “By anchoring our operations in unwavering quality, fostering deep customer trust, and remaining highly adaptable to shifting circumstances, we have managed to turn obstacles into stepping stones.

“A Blueprint for the Next Generation Beyond his commercial success, Shafi is emerging as a powerful voice of motivation for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. At a time when local youth are actively seeking paths toward self-reliance, his journey serves as a practical blueprint for success.

When asked what advice he would proffer to aspiring entrepreneurs, Shafi’s words carry the weight of experience: “Dream big, work hard, and stay consistent. Do not sit around waiting for the perfect moment—start exactly where you are, with whatever you have. Be honest in your dealings, never stop learning, and focus entirely on creating genuine value. With dedication and perseverance, success will inevitably follow.”

As The Lace Bloom continues to expand its footprint across the region, Suhail Shafi stands as a testament to what the youth of Kashmir can achieve when generational wisdom is fueled by youthful ambition and a resilient spirit.
