Painting believed to be only one Mahatma Gandhi sat for going under hammer at Bonhams
TOI correspondent from London : An oil portrait believed to be the only painting Mahatma Gandhi ever sat for is going under the hammer at Bonhams in July with an estimate of £50,000-£70,000 (Rs 58 lakh to Rs 81 lakh. ) It is the first time this portrait has ever been sold at auction as it remained in British artist Clare Leighton's collection until her death in 1989, after which it was passed down through her family. Leighton, reputed for her wooden engravings, was introduced to Gandhi when he visited London in 1931 to attend the Second Round Table Conference. At the time, she was in a relationship with political journalist Henry Noel Brailsford, who was a passionate supporter of Indian Independence. He had travelled to India in 1930 where he met key Independence figures. Afterwards he published the book 'Rebel India', met Gandhi in London in 1931 and introduced Leighton to him. She became one of very few artists admitted to his office and was given the opportunity to sit with him to sketch and paint him in 1931. In Nov 1931 Leighton showcased her portraits at the Albany Galleries in London. The following month, Gandhi's personal secretary, Mahadev Desai, wrote a letter to Leighton, a copy of which is attached to the backing board, which reads: 'It was such a pleasure to have had you here for many mornings doing Mr Gandhi's portrait.' According to the artist's family, the portrait was on public display in 1974 when it was allegedly attacked with a knife by a Hindu right-wing activist. The catalogue entry states: 'We have found no documentation to corroborate this, but the painting shows signs of restoration to what appears to be repaired tears in several places. A label attached to the backing board confirms the painting was restored in 1974 by the Lyman Allyn Museum Conservation Laboratory. ' 'There is nothing comparable to this painting in existence as it was painted in his lifetime and was a painting that he sat for on multiple occasions,' Rhyanon Demery, head of sale, told TOI. The auction takes place from 7 to 15 July.

Major infra upgrade starts at city airport's terminal 2
Jaipur: Jaipur International Airport has commenced 14 projects with an investment of over Rs 600 crore for infrastructure development and upgrade at Terminal 2, officials said Tuesday. This is being done in view of the increasing passenger load at the airport, they said. Officials stated that 15,000 square meters of expansion will significantly enhance the capacity of the existing terminal. Currently, the terminal has 39 check-in counters, and 24 new counters are planned to be added. This will reduce waiting time for passengers to a large extent. "These projects collectively aim to elevate the infrastructure of Jaipur airport, ensuring it meets international benchmarks and provides an enhanced travel experience," said the airport's spokesperson. In addition to new check-in counters, the airport is also adding eight self-baggage drop (SBD) counters. The security screening process will be enhanced with nine new X-ray baggage inspection system (XBIS) machines. An automative tray retrieval system is also being added at the terminal. "This increase will enable fast and thorough screening of baggage. Boarding gates are also being increased from six to 10. Two new entry gates will be added, taking the total number to six. The installation of two new aero bridges on the second floor of Terminal 2 will facilitate easier boarding and deboarding of passengers and will reduce the turnaround time," added the official.
