trained
at
the
Sir
J.J.
School
of
Art,
Bombay.
From
there
he
had
a
busy
career,
working,
exhibiting
and
teaching.
He
was
a
visiting
Professor
at

to
1962,
and
during

time,
also
founded
the
Triveni
Kala
Sangam,
where
he
ultimately

Art
Department
until
1968.


In
the
late
1950s
he
travelled
extensively
through
