PUNDOLE
ART GALLERY
The Pundole Art Gallery was started in 1963 by Kali Pundole.
Its first show was featured artists like K H Ara, Badrinarayan, and
Pochkanwala. Before starting the gallery, Pundole had established
himself as a framer of paintings and photographs. The gallery is devoted
to modern Indian art, and has a "stable of artists" it rarely looks
beyond. Over the years, the gallery has exhibited the works of M F
Hussain, Akbar Padamsee, Laxman Shreshta, Badrinarayan, and Ram Kumar.
Pundole features only gallery-organised shows and is not rented out.
It has also published a few books. The gallery is now run by Dadiba

ART GALLERY OF THE NEHRU CENTRE

with a forum for exhibitions, lectures and workshops. The exhibitions
are mainly works of fine art, including paintings, sculptures, etchings,
photographs, etc. Once a year, when the gallery holds the Indian Master
exhibition, it collects the work of one Indian master from museums
and collectors and displays it to art aficionados. A comprehensive
catalogue is also published on the occasion. Besides the regular exhibitions,
the gallery organises several art-related activities like Chatak (a
monsoon show for art students and young professional artists), contests
for handicapped children and students of municipal schools, study
