The power star of Kannada cinema Puneeth Rajakumar after inaugurating the rare photo exhibition of his father Dr Rajakumar clicked by Mr Bhavani Lakshminarayan in those days disclosed that the best festival for him in life was the ‘Birth day of his father’. When my father was living the celebration in the family circle was something too good. On April 24 since 2006 there has been a big void as he departed from this earth. Through his works, films and exhibitions like this there is a strong feeling that my father has not left us says Puneeth Rajakumar.

Puneeth Rajakumar appreciated the collection of Bhavani Lakshminarayan. There are so many in the stock that we in the family do not have it he mentioned.

Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy chairman TS Nagabharana, Kannada and culture secretary Ramesh Jhalaki were also present at Chitrakala Parishat.
