Entrance to the Art Gallery at P. L. Deshpande Kala Academy, Ravindra Natya Mandir, Prabhadevi, Mumbai

An imposing portrait of late P. L. Deshpande adorns the main wall in this area which also has the entry gate to the art gallery. For some funny reason, the lights in this area are switched off during day time. When I requested for the lights to be on throughout the day, I was told that this is an administrative order. Fortunately, on the very first day of our show, a senior officer of this academy visited the exhibition and was very happy to see the way it was organised and presented. When I made request about the lights, it was immediately accepted.

Notice the "Khula Aasmaan" - Children's Art Exhibition by Indiaart billboard at the entry of the Art Gallery.
