Breath of The Infinite

A Group show of Paintings by five contemporary renowned artists – Chetan Katigar, Dinesh Kumar Parmar, Pradip Kumar Sau, Ranjit Kurmi, Santosh Kumar Sandilya will be displayed at JMD Art Gallery, J-109, Ansa Industrial Estate, Saki Naka, Andheri(West), Mumbai from 16th to 31st January 2026 between 11am to 7pm.

Santosh Kumar Sandilya paints Kashi not as a picturesque city but as a living cosmology, where architecture, river, boats, and human ritual are bound into one breathing organism. Working with Ganga -jal as both medium and meaning, his layered ghats turn Varanasi into a site where faith, time, and everyday life flow through the same visual bloodstream.

Ranjit Kurmi’s abstraction moves like a charged weather system; bands of colour collide, fracture, and recombine, producing a painterly turbulence that feels both lyrical and volatile. His canvases hold the tension between structure and release, where pigment behaves like memory in motion rather than fixed form.

Chetan Katigar builds a lush narrative theatre where myth, music, flora, and human presence fold into a single ornamental rhythm, giving devotional storytelling the pulse of contemporary colour. His figurative worlds feel ceremonial yet intimate, where Krishna, musicians, animals, and forest become a single breathing choreography rather than separate motifs.

Pradip Kumar Sau constructs a metaphysical theatre in blue, where floating heads, ascending triangles amidst celestial bodies, and drifting bodies map the human mind’s restless pull between gravity and transcendence. His paintings stage the psyche as a dream-space in which the finite body strains toward an infinite, luminous elsewhere.

Dinesh Parmar composes memory like a palimpsest; layered fields of colour, fractured faces, and symbolic geometry drifting through one another as if time itself were being slowly repainted. His mixed-media surfaces feel archaeological, where emotion, history, and private myth surface and dissolve in the same breath.

This show was inaugurated on 16th January 2026 by Honourable Guests Mr. Milind Pai(Principal Architect), Mr. Sameer Bhambere(Founder of Lemon Yellow LLP)

श्री अमित तिवारी यांच्या नेतृत्वाखाली साथी द युथ फाउंडेशनतर्फे सिद्धिविनायक मंदिरातील ५०० कर्मचाऱ्यांचा सत्कार...

कृतज्ञता आणि सामाजिक जबाबदारीच्या भावनेतून साथी द यूथ फाउंडेशन तर्फे मुंबईतील प्रसिद्ध श्री सिद्धिविनायक मंदिरातील कर्मचाऱ्यांचा सत्कार समारंभ आयोजित करण्यात आला. भक्तांची सेवा, स्वच्छता, शिस्त आणि मंदिराची व्यवस्था सुरळीत ठेवण्यासाठी अहोरात्र मेहनत करणाऱ्या कर्मचाऱ्यांचा या कार्यक्रमात सन्मान करण्यात आला.

श्री सिद्धिविनायक मंदिर हे मुंबईतील एक अत्यंत श्रद्धेचे ठिकाण असून दररोज हजारो भाविक येथे दर्शनासाठी येतात. मंदिरातील सुव्यवस्था आणि शिस्त राखण्यामागे कर्मचाऱ्यांचे मोठे योगदान असते. मात्र त्यांचे काम अनेकदा लक्षात येत नाही. अशा कर्मचाऱ्यांना सन्मान देण्यासाठी साथी द यूथ फाउंडेशनने हा उपक्रम राबवला.

हा कार्यक्रम साथी द यूथ फाउंडेशनचे अध्यक्ष श्री अमित तिवारी यांच्या मार्गदर्शनाखाली पार पडला. त्यांनी सांगितले की, हा उपक्रम सलग सातव्या वर्षी आयोजित करण्यात येत आहे. दरवर्षी फाउंडेशनकडून वेगवेगळे सामाजिक उपक्रम राबवले जातात. यंदा सिद्धिविनायक मंदिरातील कर्मचाऱ्यांचा सत्कार करण्याचा निर्णय घेण्यात आला. या कार्यक्रमात ५०० कर्मचाऱ्यांचा सन्मान करून त्यांना भेटवस्तू देण्यात आल्या.

अमित तिवारी यांनी सांगितले की, समाजासाठी निःस्वार्थपणे काम करणाऱ्या लोकांना मान-सन्मान मिळणे खूप गरजेचे आहे. अशा उपक्रमांमुळे कर्मचाऱ्यांना नवी प्रेरणा मिळते आणि त्यांच्या कामाची दखल घेतली जाते.

या कार्यक्रमाला विशेष उपस्थिती लाभली ती अभिनेत्री शिवानी शर्मा यांची. त्यांनी मंदिर कर्मचाऱ्यांशी संवाद साधत त्यांच्या सेवाभावाचे आणि नम्रतेचे कौतुक केले. त्यांच्या उपस्थितीमुळे कार्यक्रमाला अधिक मान मिळाला.

या सत्कार समारंभाला श्रीमती मनीषा तुपे (विश्वस्त, श्री सिद्धिविनायक मंदिर), श्री सोहेल खांडवानी (अध्यक्ष व विश्वस्त – महिम व हाजी अली दर्गा ट्रस्ट), श्री प्रकाश यादव (भाजप नेते, मध्य प्रदेश) यांच्यासह अनेक मान्यवर उपस्थित होते. विविध पार्श्वभूमीतील मान्यवरांची उपस्थिती ही मानवता, एकता आणि बंधुभावाचा संदेश देणारी ठरली.

हा कार्यक्रम मंदिरातील पडद्यामागे काम करणाऱ्या कर्मचाऱ्यांच्या योगदानाची जाणीव करून देणारा होता.

या उपक्रमातून साथी द यूथ फाउंडेशन ने समाजसेवा, एकोपा आणि निःस्वार्थ सेवेचा आदर्श पुन्हा एकदा समाजासमोर ठेवला आहे.

Nearly 90% Of Crypto Investors Aware Of Taxation, 66% Say It Is Unfair: Coinswitch Survey Finds...

Report Highlights Demand for Predictable, Market-Aligned Crypto Tax Framework

Ahead of the upcoming Union Budget in February, CoinSwitch has released insights from a nationwide survey capturing investor sentiment on the taxation and regulation of crypto (Virtual Digital Assets – VDAs) in India.
The survey indicates a high level of awareness of India’s current crypto taxation framework. Nearly 90% of respondents reported familiarity with key provisions, including the 30% tax on gains, the absence of loss set-off or carry-forward, and the 1% TDS on transactions. Despite this awareness, a majority of respondents expressed concerns regarding the perceived fairness of the current framework. 66% believe the current crypto tax structure is unfair.
Commenting on this Mr Ashish Singhal, Co-founder of CoinSwitch, says, “The survey shows that investors are not seeking tax exemptions, but rationalisation. Respondents favour lower tax rates, loss set-off provisions, reduced TDS, and clearer regulations aligned with established financial markets. The findings indicate that investors are informed, willing to comply, and seeking a fair and predictable framework. As the Union Budget approaches, rationalising crypto taxation and providing regulatory clarity can support compliant onshore participation and contribute to a more transparent and well-regulated digital asset ecosystem.”
Taxation is also influencing market behaviour. A majority of respondents (59%) reported reduced participation in crypto investing or trading due to the prevailing tax regime. This trend suggests that the current tax structure appears to be influencing participation patterns, with potential implications for trading volumes, liquidity, and onshore market activity.

In contrast, 17% indicated increased participation, while 16% said taxation had no impact on their activity. At the same time, these segments of respondents reported stable or increased participation despite the tax regime. This suggests that some investors are adopting longer-term investment approaches, placing greater value on regulatory certainty than short-term tax considerations.
A majority of respondents favour integrating crypto into India’s mainstream financial taxation system. 61% believe crypto should be taxed similarly to equities or mutual funds. 17% prefer a separate tax framework. This reflects a preference for treatment aligned with established financial instruments.
When it comes to information sources, respondents primarily rely on crypto platforms and exchanges (30%), followed by news media (27%) and social media (25%) for updates on crypto and taxation. This highlights the role of platforms in investor education and the importance of consistent, authoritative regulatory communication.
Beyond taxation, the survey highlights the importance of broader regulatory clarity. Over 80% of respondents consider clear regulation to be important, with 60% rating it as extremely important, underscoring the view that tax reform alone is insufficient to build long-term investor confidence.

Overall, policy sentiment captured in the survey leans towards enablement, with 51% of respondents believing that crypto should be encouraged as a new asset class in India.
