Between the ghats of Kashi, the silence of the Himalayas, and the presence of the Gods — a life of paint and pilgrimage.
Srinivas Ganduri in the Mumbai studio, 2025
Biography
Srinivas Ganduri is a contemporary Indian painter based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. His practice is organised around three enduring series — Kashi, Mighty Himalayas, and Gods — works held in private collections across India and abroad.
Drawn early to temple light and mountain journeys, he developed a language that holds both figurative devotion and large-scale atmosphere. Oil, gold leaf, cold wax, and natural pigments appear throughout the oeuvre. Collectors often describe his elite pieces as quiet but commanding — paintings that change with the light of a room.
The Mumbai studio in Bandra West is open by appointment for viewings, commissions, and conversations about placement. Enquiries: studio@srinivasganduri.art.

The work
Ghats, aarti, river light — the eternal city as atmosphere and devotion.
Altitude, snow silence, and monasteries at the edge of cloud.
Contemporary icons — presence without portrait, gold without excess.
"Every canvas is a courtyard. Enter slowly. Let the gold catch you. Stay until the colour becomes quiet."— On viewing his work
