“Devika is the student head of ‘Gundi’ —spearheading an elite team of ten students who have achieved remarkable excellence in watercolour and fine arts. Her exceptional skills shine through her abstract work, inviting us to look deeper and engage with her vision. Beyond her art, she has meticulously scheduled a lineup of programs tailored for students, aspiring artists, and music lovers alike.”

Milind Mullick, a name in synonymous with water colour and art, with 10,000 workshops and many accolades in his cap, has made extensive efforts to reach out to art students to gather and celebrate this evening at Raja Ravi Verma.

The only ship that never sinks is the friendship between Charahuas Pandit ji and Milind Mullick, from yeh dosti ham nahi todenge to the toss of the coin to the yarri hain imaan meri yaar meri zindagi, let’s jam on the guitar along with the students and team.

Rajika Mittra is the curator and driving force behind the Asian Art House, which specializes in bringing exceptional contemporary art from across India and Southeast Asia to curated luxury spaces.

For an event like this Art Brunch, her curation is what bridges the gap between the culinary experience and the gallery-level showcases, specifically selecting the Indi-Vietnamese art and Manoj Das’s Banaras paintings to transform Coriander Kitchen into a living gallery.
