Sumitaatman:

In an age increasingly drawn toward irony, spectacle, and fragmentation, Sumitra Ahlawat’s paintings return to the enduring language of beauty, devotion, ornamentation, and emotional sincerity. Her works celebrate the richness of Indian cultural memory through luminous portrayals of divine figures, women adorned in traditional attire, musicians, dancers, and moments of quiet spiritual reflection.

Shaped through her art education in Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, Sumitra’s visual language carries subtle echoes of regional aesthetics, traditional attire, devotional atmospheres, and the warmth of lived Indian cultural experience. She completed a five year Diploma in Fine Arts, building a rigorous academic foundation that later expanded into diverse professional engagements across painting, illustration, broadcasting, and graphic design.

Working across oil, acrylic, charcoal, watercolour, and mixed media, Sumitra creates compositions deeply rooted in feminine figurative traditions while retaining a contemporary softness and immediacy. Her paintings are marked by flowing drapery, elaborate jewellery, expressive gestures, and richly textured surfaces that evoke the visual atmosphere of women at temple rituals, folk celebrations, varied painting traditions, and classical Indian aesthetics.

Alongside her independent artistic practice, Sumitra has also worked professionally across several important institutional spaces. She created oil paintings for the Rajputana Rifles Regiment Centre, Delhi, worked as a graphic artist with Doordarshan, Delhi TV, and UDK, contributed book illustrations for NCERT, and worked on illustration projects for Nandan magazine of HT. These experiences expanded her engagement with both fine art and public visual culture, allowing her practice to move fluidly between institutional, literary, devotional, and popular visual language.

Her devotional works depicting Krishna, Rama, Vitthala, Ganesha, and Radha are imbued with warmth rather than grandeur. These are not distant mythological icons, but intimate presences inhabiting the emotional world of everyday faith. Alongside these sacred images, her portraits of Indian women carry a similar dignity and grace, transforming adornment into a visual language of identity, memory, femininity, and cultural continuity.

Sumitra’s use of colour moves between earthy browns, deep vermilions, luminous golds, and muted monochromes, creating a balance between vibrancy and stillness. Her figures often emerge softly from the surface, as though suspended between dream, remembrance, and lived reality. There is a tenderness in the way the body is painted, not merely as form, but as a carrier of ritual, devotion, beauty, and inherited cultural memory.

Rather than pursuing conceptual excess or detached irony, Sumitra’s practice remains committed to emotional clarity and visual harmony. At a time when contemporary art often distances itself from decorative sensitivity, her paintings quietly reclaim these languages without apology. The decorative in her work becomes a vessel of continuity, intimacy, and cultural remembrance.

Her paintings invite viewers into a contemplative world where devotion, femininity, grace, and figuration coexist not as nostalgia, but as living emotional inheritances that continue to shape the Indian imagination.

This show was Inaugurated on 25th May 2026 by Hon. Guests Dr. Kishor Ingle(Director, Directorate of Art, Maharashtra State), Prof. Narendra Vichare(Chairman, The Bombay Art Society), Shri. Rajendra Patil(President, The Bombay Art Society, Founder – India Art Festival), Dr. Ganesh Tartare, (Former Professor, SirJ.J. School of Art), Shri. Shekhar Sane( Eminent Artist)

‘HABITAT – Echoes of Land and Life’: A Convergent Exploration of Nature and Humanity

From 26 May to 01 June 2026, the historic Jehangir Art Gallery will host “HABITAT – Echoes of Land and Life,” a significant group exhibition featuring four acclaimed artists: N. S. Manohar, S Jayaraj, Maruthi Paila, and R Dhiyaneshwaran. 

The exhibition serves as a profound visual dialogue between the elemental forces of earth and sea and the human lives shaped within their embrace. Through a diverse body of work, the artists navigate the terrains of landscape, memory, and abstraction, reflecting on the lived experiences of rural and coastal communities.

In this collection, the land and sea is portrayed as a rhythmic, transformative presence, while the land serves as a repository for stories of tradition and labour. The artists employ colour as a primary emotional language – moving between quiet, contemplative palettes and vibrant, immersive hues – to capture the “echoes” of places remembered and lives witnessed.

S Jayaraj and Maruthi Paila push the boundaries of form, utilizing textured abstractions to bridge the gap between observed reality and imagined space. N. S. Manohar and R Dhiyaneshwaran present evocative figurative narratives and intimate portrayals of everyday life, grounding the exhibition in the resilience of human tradition.

Collectively, these works resonate with a shared concern for environmental continuity and the fragile balance between human existence and the natural world. “HABITAT” does not seek to present a singular narrative; instead, it offers a constellation of impressions, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on their own connections to place.

This show was inaugurated on 26^th May 2026 by Honourable Guest Mr. Rajendra Patil (Director, India Art Festival), Dr. Prakash Kothari among others

New York based IT professional, Mrs. Bharat-USA Universe 2026, Model and a mother, makes  A powerful statement of culture, craftsmanship, and sustainability on the global red carpet

Cannes, France: At the prestigious Cannes Film Festival—where global fashion often reflects modern luxury and evolving trends—Swapnali Wani made a distinctive and meaningful statement by embracing India’s rich handloom heritage.

For her red carpet appearance, Swapnali wore a traditional Paithani saree, transforming the moment into more than a fashion statement. The choice symbolized a tribute to India’s centuries-old weaving traditions and the skilled artisans who continue to preserve this cultural legacy.

The saree, known for its vibrant colors and intricate motifs, reflected the regal textile heritage of Maharashtra. Complementing the ensemble was a specially designed blouse featuring delicate and intricate detailing with pearls, blending timeless tradition with contemporary elegance.

“This was not just about what I wore—it was about the story behind it,” the look conveyed. “Every thread represents generations of artisans and a legacy that deserves global recognition.”

Walking the global red carpet, Swapnali’s appearance highlighted the importance of supporting indigenous crafts in an era dominated by fast fashion. Handloom textiles, such as Paithani, stand as symbols of sustainability, authenticity, and human connection—values increasingly relevant in today’s fashion landscape.

By choosing to showcase Indian handloom on such an international platform, she brought attention to the need for preserving traditional crafts and empowering artisan communities who form the backbone of this heritage.

Paithani, with its signature silk weave and intricate artistry, is more than attire—it is a narrative woven with history, culture, and identity. Swapnali’s presence at Cannes served as a reminder that fashion can transcend borders and act as a powerful medium of cultural storytelling.

In that defining moment, her attire spoke not of fleeting trends, but of pride in roots, heritage, and craftsmanship.

Because sometimes, the most powerful statement on a red carpet is not about wearing something new— It’s about wearing something meaningful.

Swapnali Wani, will be representing Bharat and USA at the prestigious 49^th Mrs. Universe Pageant at Colombo, Shrilanka in Oct,2026. Her journey reflects a progressive evolution in modern pageantry, one which is based on the cultural values. She bridges the gap between culture and modern values very beautifully.

सड़क से अधिकारी बनने के सपने और त्याग की भावुक कहानी ने खींचा पाठकों का ध्यान

मुंबई। फ़िल्म और साहित्य की दुनिया में अपनी अलग पहचान बना चुके लेखक-निर्देशक आशीष तिवारी की नई पुस्तक “घुमन्तु” अब Amazon पर प्रकाशित हो चुकी है। यह पुस्तक रिलीज़ होते ही पाठकों और साहित्य प्रेमियों के बीच चर्चा का विषय बन गई है।

“घुमन्तु” केवल एक किताब नहीं, बल्कि उन जिंदगियों की आवाज़ बताई जा रही है जिन्हें समाज अक्सर देखकर भी अनदेखा कर देता है। पुस्तक में संघर्ष, पहचान, समाज की सच्चाई और इंसानी भावनाओं को बेहद संवेदनशील तरीके से प्रस्तुत किया गया है। लेखक ने कहानी को इस अंदाज़ में लिखा है कि पाठक शुरुआत से अंत तक उससे जुड़ा महसूस करता है।

कहानी एक ऐसे गरीब लड़के की भावनात्मक यात्रा को भी सामने लाती है, जो सड़क और मजबूरी भरी जिंदगी से निकलकर एक घुमंतू समुदाय की लड़की को अधिकारी बनाने का सपना देखता है। अपने सपनों, खुशियों और जिंदगी तक की कुर्बानी देकर वह लड़की को उस मुकाम तक पहुंचाने की कोशिश करता है, जहां समाज उसे सम्मान की नजर से देखे। यही संघर्ष, प्यार और त्याग कहानी को बेहद भावुक और दिल छू लेने वाला बनाता है।

लेखक आशीष तिवारी इससे पहले भी सामाजिक विषयों और वास्तविक घटनाओं से प्रेरित कंटेंट को लेकर चर्चा में रहे हैं। उनकी लेखनी की खासियत यह मानी जाती है कि वह आम इंसान की भावनाओं और संघर्षों को सरल लेकिन प्रभावशाली शब्दों में सामने लाते हैं।

सोशल मीडिया पर भी पुस्तक को लेकर सकारात्मक प्रतिक्रियाएँ सामने आ रही हैं। कई पाठकों का कहना है कि “घुमन्तु” सिर्फ पढ़ने की चीज़ नहीं, बल्कि महसूस करने वाली किताब है।

साहित्य और सिनेमा दोनों क्षेत्रों में सक्रिय आशीष तिवारी की यह नई पेशकश युवा पाठकों के साथ-साथ समाज और मानव जीवन को गहराई से समझने वाले लोगों को भी आकर्षित कर सकती है।

Royal Global King And Queen, an International platform for woman empowerment happened on 24th May 2026 in Mumbai, where contestants came from different countries like UK, Canada, Arunachal Pradesh, India, and Dr. Neelam Paradia was an organizer and show Director of the show and proudly Mrs. PRADDNYA S KAMBLI is the winner of Mrs. World Royal Global Queen 2026 title in the esteem platform.

Let us hear from Mrs. Praddnya S Kambli about her journey.

I was born as the only daughter of my parents and the only sister to my elder brother. My childhood was filled with love, warmth, and care, giving me a strong foundation of values and confidence.

Education always played an important role in my life, and with dedication, I became a double graduate in commerce and finance. Soon, life blessed me with a beautiful new chapter — marriage and motherhood.

My journey is a story of strength, self- discovery, and new beginnings. I am a proud homemaker, an entrepreneur, and a mother of two daughters. While managing my family responsibilities with love and dedication, I also nurtured my entrepreneurial spirit, believing that women can beautifully balance both family and ambition. Being a homemaker taught me patience, resilience, and unconditional love, while entrepreneurship gave me confidence, independence, and the courage to dream bigger.

My family became my strength, and my dreams became my motivation.

As the years passed, I realized that while I had fulfilled many responsibilities, there were dreams within me that were still waiting to bloom.

But deep inside me, there was also a dream to create my own identity. Stepping out of my comfort zone, I participated in a beauty pageant for the very first time in my life. Somewhere within me, I wondered if I had lost touch with myself after so many years dedicated to my family.

But the online grooming sessions became a transformative experience for me. They helped me enhance my communication skills, stage presence, confidence, and personality. Every round of the pageant – self-introduction, talent round, question answer round, ramp walk and personality evaluation – was a learning experience. I participated with sincerity ,confidence, and grace, giving my best every moment.

But life surprised me beautifully — I won the titles of Mrs. WORLD ROYAL GLOBAL QUEEN winner 2026, Mrs. ROYAL GLOBAL QUEEN PLATINUM Winner 2026, Mrs. ROYAL GLOBAL QUEEN ETHNIC BEAUTY, Mrs. ROYAL GLOBAL INSPIRING MODEL.

That moment was not just about winning a crown, it was about rediscovering myself. It taught me that dreams do not have an expiry date, and confidence never fades when you believe in yourself.

Today, I stand at the beginning of a new journey filled with passion, purpose, and possibilities. My future vision is to continue growing as a confident woman, to participate in more pageants, win more titles, and create a meaningful identity of my own.

Beyond personal achievements, I want to work for social causes, especially women empowerment, inspiring women to rediscover themselves and believe that every stage of life offers a new beginning.

I sincerely thanks to my family, and Dr. Neelam Paradia, a pageant director of @missmrsroyalglobalqueen for creating such a beautiful and empowering platform and for giving me the opportunity to shine beyond appearances and celebrate my true strength. Your constant support, encouragement, belief in my journey, hard work, dedication made this journey truly unforgettable for me.

This is not the end of my story — it is the beginning of my second innings.

“A woman is never defined by aofte or circumstances; she is defined by the couraofte to beoftin aoftain.”

Ethereal Visions: A National Art Exhibition 

“Ethereal Visions” brings together a diverse group of contemporary artists from across India in a show that moves between figuration, abstraction, and sculptural form, mapping a wide spectrum of visual languages currently in practice. Rather than positioning the ‘ethereal’ as something purely transcendental or decorative, the exhibition locates it within lived experience: memory, labour, environment, and the psychological interior.

The paintings on view range from expressive figuration to stylised landscapes and symbolic narratives. Certain works engage with the human condition through layered, almost eroded surfaces, figures appear fragmented, dissolving into their environments, suggesting themes of migration, anonymity, and collective endurance. Others adopt a more lyrical or decorative approach, where colour fields and organic forms, such as trees rendered in vivid chromatic contrasts, evoke a contemplative, almost meditative stillness. There is also a strong presence of surreal and symbolic portraiture, where the human face becomes a site of internal tension, marked by intricate patterning and fissures that allude to identity, trauma, and transformation.

In contrast, some painters lean into narrative figuration, drawing from performance, mythology, and everyday life. These works retain a gestural softness, where the body is not rigidly defined but emerges through atmosphere and movement. Elsewhere, a sharper, illustrative precision appears in works that hybridise human and animal forms, pointing toward ecological anxieties and the fragility of biological systems. A few works also engage with landscape as a site of disturbance rather than beauty, where atmosphere, smoke, and terrain carry the weight of environmental unease.

The sculptural section extends these concerns into three dimensions. Materials such as metal, ceramic, and mixed media are employed to construct forms that oscillate between abstraction and symbolism. Some sculptures explore balance and tension through stacked, precarious forms, while others draw from ritualistic or mythological imagery, grounding the exhibition within a distinctly Indian sensibility. The ceramic works, in particular, demonstrate a playful yet controlled engagement with form, surface, and rhythm.

What holds the exhibition together is not a singular theme but a shared impulse to negotiate the visible and the intangible. The ‘ethereal’ here is not an escape from reality, but a way of processing it, through distortion, stylisation, and material transformation.

Organised and curated by Vishwa Sahni, “Ethereal Visions” offers a panoramic glimpse into contemporary artistic practices, where multiple vocabularies coexist, intersect, and occasionally collide, reflecting the complexity of the times we inhabit.

This show was inaugurated on 26^th May 2026 by Honourable Chief Guest Mrs. Nina Puri (Renowned Architect)

From New York to Cannes: Glamour Icon of the Year 2025, Mrs. Elite New York USA & Mrs. Elite Universe USA 2nd Runner-Up Shilpa Jadhav-Ghule Brings Couture Glamour to Cannes 2026 Red Carpet

New York-based IT professional, beauty pageant titleholder, model, fashion personality, and community leader Shilpa Jadhav-Ghule made two stunning appearances at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, turning heads with back-to-back couture looks that beautifully reflected glamour, confidence, and high-fashion elegance.

• Day 1 — Fiery Orange Couture Glamour (Evening 7 PM Screening of Coward)

For her first Cannes red carpet appearance during the glamorous 7 PM evening screening of the film Coward, Shilpa embraced bold couture drama in a custom-designed fiery orange-peach gown inspired by modern luxury fashion and red-carpet elegance. The outfit featured intricate crystal embellishments, detailed hand embroidery, feather accents, and dramatic layered ruffle sleeves flowing into an extended trail, creating a powerful statement silhouette. The deep illusion neckline added sophistication while the shimmering details reflected beautifully under the evening festival lights.

Styled with statement jewelry and elegant styling, the overall look blended old Hollywood glamour with contemporary couture fashion.

• Day 2 — Pink Diva Princess Moment

For her second Cannes red carpet appearance, Shilpa transformed into a glamorous pink diva princess, captivating photographers and attendees with a striking hot-pink couture gown that perfectly embodied confidence, femininity, and red-carpet sophistication.

The fitted off-shoulder gown featured luxurious ruched detailing, crystal-embellished sleeves, a dramatic thigh-high slit, and an elegant flowing train that created a regal silhouette as she walked the iconic Cannes carpet. Styled with sparkling jewelry and glamorous soft curls, the entire look radiated timeless Hollywood elegance with a modern couture touch.

Her playful flying-kiss and waving moments on the red carpet quickly became standout highlights of the event, perfectly capturing the joy and excitement of living her Cannes dream.

Shilpa revealed that both outfits were specially custom designed and stitched for her Cannes appearances, with every detail thoughtfully planned and personalized.

“I wanted both looks to feel glamorous, powerful, and unforgettable while still reflecting my personality and style. Cannes was a dream come true for me, and I wanted my fashion to express confidence, elegance, and celebration,” she shared.

Known for balancing a successful corporate career in technology alongside achievements in fashion, pageantry, leadership, and cultural representation, Shilpa has become a growing global face representing Indian talent and women empowerment on international platforms.

Apart from her Cannes appearance, Shilpa is widely recognized in the pageant and fashion industry for her remarkable achievements. She currently holds the title of Mrs. New York USA World and earned the prestigious position of Mrs. Elite Universe USA 2nd Runner-Up. She was also honored with the Glamour Icon of the Year 2025 award for her influence in fashion, beauty, and public presence.

Her modeling journey also includes appearances at New York Fashion Week, where she walked the runway and featured as a magazine cover personality, showcasing her versatility across editorial and couture fashion spaces.

Beyond fashion and pageantry, Shilpa is also admired for her leadership within the Indian community in New York. As an active community leader and Dhol Tasha leader, she continues to promote Indian culture, unity, women empowerment, and representation through various social and cultural initiatives.

Speaking about her Cannes experience, Shilpa described the moment as emotional and surreal.

“Walking those iconic red carpet steps at Cannes is something I had dreamed about for so long. Seeing photographers, cameras, and the entire atmosphere around me felt magical. It was one of the most unforgettable moments of my life.”

Following the screenings, the creator and model also posed for editorial-style photographs around the glamorous French Riviera, where both couture ensembles stood out beautifully against the luxurious Cannes backdrop.

With her bold fashion statements, inspiring journey, and ability to balance the worlds of technology, modeling, pageantry, culture, and leadership, Shilpa Jadhav-Ghule continues to showcase the growing global influence of Indian women across industries.
