Mangalore, September 1: Banna Ganapa, a unique exhibition of paintings on Ganesha by 12 artists was inaugurated Thursday morning Ganesh S. Rao, Founder Chairman of Karavali Group of Colleges.

Rohan R. Monteiro, Managing Director, Property Infratech India Pvt. Ltd., Mangalore was the chief guest on the occasion.

The exhibition is hosted by Art Insight at its art gallery situated at Kadri Service Station, Shivabagh, Mangalore to commemorate its successful two years. IndianOil Corporation Mangalore Divisional Office is the sponsor and co-organizer of the event.

The exhibition, which coincides with Ganesh Chathurthi and IndianOil Day, will be open for public viewing for seven days (till 7th Sept.) at the gallery from 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

It features about 30 paintings by 12 professional artists of the coastal region. The participating artists are: Anil Devadiga, Dinesh Holla, Harish Kodialbail, Harish Marne, Jayavanth, Jeevan A.S., Kandan G., Mohan Kumar B.P., Rajendra Kedige, Reshma Shetty, Syed Asif Ali and Vishwas M.

Addressing the assembled gathering, Ganesh Rao observed that every artist's talent is unique and it is futile to compare one artist with another. “Ganesha being a universal god has innumerable forms and each of participating artists has depicted his own personal vision of Lord Ganesh,” he said, adding, “While creative license gives the artist the freedom to depict this god in any form (aakara), one should also take care to see that there is no distortion (vikaara) which may hurt people's sentiments.”

He appreciated the initiative taken by Art Insight to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi festival in this innovative way. “Even organizing this kind of exhibition dedicated to Lord Ganesh is a way of offering pooja to him,” he said, “This exhibition is an example of what can be achieved if we all work together.”

He particularly lauded the efforts of IndianOil Corporation in promoting art and said more such events are needed to motivate talented youngsters to take to art. He offered his institution's campus and resources to the artist community for the purpose of promoting art in the future.

In his address the chief guest Rohan Monteiro said he was very happy to be a part of the event and he wished that this exhibition which is being organized in the name of Lord Ganesha will bring peace and property to the land and its people.

The inauguration ceremony commenced with a statement of condolence and silent tribute to veteran artist Panambur Purushotham Karanth who passed away last evening.

The dignitaries individually felicitated each of the participating artists by presenting a rose. Karunakar MH and Rajendra Kedige of Art Insight and the premises owner Gurupreeth Alva of Kadri Service Station were present on the occasion.

Tumakuru, Jan 8: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat stoked controversy on Wednesday by stating that 'Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is full of traitors'.

He was addressing the media after taking part in a pro-CAA rally organised by National Citizens Forum near the office of the deputy commissioner of the district here.

Bhat said, “JNU is full of traitors. Congress and communist parties have been generating anti-nationals there. But there is no need to close the university down. Modi government will handle it.”

“Nationalism should be infused among the students there through love and trust. They should be made to realize what the truth is,” he said.

Unfortunate, still he has poor followers to believe him.

He is safe at home and sacrifiers are poor boys who blindly believe and obey him.

 

This guy is sick and irriversible.

God will reward him so that his followers believe his exploiting orders.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: At 11 am on Friday, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will present the State Budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal. Coming at a time when the state is facing financial challenges, the budget is expected to have minor tax shocks for citizens, while making space for big-ticket allocations to the agriculture and water resources ministries. Thursday's budget will be Yediyurappa’s seventh.

“Agriculture is our primary focus. The recent gazette notification of the Mahadayi tribunal order is a welcome move for Karnataka and we will make budgetary allocations for this too,” the CM had said.

The cut back in devolution of funds for Karnataka from the divisible pool, trimming of funds from the Union Government for Centrally-sponsored schemes and tax collections falling short of revenue targets have made matters tough for Yediyurappa. The consolation may be the part payment of one installment of GST compensation from the Centre. The GST compensation, in part for the October-November period, was released to the state in time for tabling of the budget.
