Raja Ravi
Varma
•Raja Ravi Varma Coil
Thampuran (29 April 1848 – 5
October 1906) was an Indian
painter and artist from
the princely
state of Travancore (presently
in southern Kerala & some
parts of Tamil Nadu) who
achieved recognition for his
paintings depicting scenes
from Indian literature
and mythology including the
epics of Mahabharata and
Ramayana.
•He is considered among the
greatest painters in the history of
Indian art and his paintings are
considered to be among the best
examples of the fusion of Indian
traditions with the techniques of
European academic art.
•Varma was patronized by Ayilyam Thirunal, the
then Maharajah of Travancore and began formal
training thereafter. He learned the basics of
painting in Madurai. Later, he was trained in water
painting by Rama Swami Naidu and in oil
painting by Dutch portraitist Theodor Jenson.
•Varma received widespread acclaim after he
won an award for an exhibition of his paintings
at Vienna in 1873. Varma's paintings were also
sent to the World's Columbian Exposition held in
Chicago in 1893 and he was awarded three gold
medals.
•
•He travelled throughout India in search of
subjects. He often modeled
Hindu Goddesses on South Indian women, whom
he considered beautiful. Ravi Varma is particularly
noted for his paintings depicting episodes from the
story of Dushyanta and Shakuntala,
and Nala and Damayanti, from the Mahabharata.
• Ravi Varma's representation of mythological
characters has become a part of the Indian
imagination of the epics.
•He is often criticized for being too showy and
sentimental in his style but his work remains very
popular in India. Many of his fabulous paintings
are housed at laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara.
The studio used by Varma during his stay
at the laxmi vilas palace.

Inspiration
•As narrated in the novel "Raja Ravi Varma" by
Ranjit Desai, There was a woman called Sugandha
Bai who became inspiration for Raja Ravi Varma to
paint gods and goddesses as human beings.
• Once Ravi Varma happened to see this beautiful
lady in a temple and suddenly felt inspired. He
then sketched Sugandha Bai's portrait and gifted
her.
•Sugandha Bai got attracted towards Raja Ravi
Varma's sketches and agreed to become his model
to portray Hindu Goddesses in his paintings.
•Apparently on the advice of the then Dewan
(Prime Minister) of Travancore, T. Madhava
Rao, Ravi Varma started a lithographic printing
press in Ghatkopar, Mumbai in 1894 and later
shifted it to Malavli near Lonavala,
Maharashtra in 1899.
•The press was managed by Varma's brother,
Raja Varma. In 1901 the press was sold to his
printing technician from Germany, Mr.
Schleicher and later closed down after it was
gutted in an accidental fire.

Painting by Raja Ravi Varma
•The oleographs produced by the press
were mostly of Hindu gods and
goddesses in scenes adapted mainly
from the Mahabharata,
the Ramayana and the Puranas.
• These oleographs were very popular
and continued to be printed in
thousands for many years, even after
the 1906 death of Ravi Varma.
Honours
•In 1904, Viceroy Lord Curzon, on behalf of the British King
Emperor, bestowed upon Varma the Kaisar-i-Hind Gold
Medal.
•A college dedicated to fine arts was also constituted in his
honour at Mavelikara, Kerala. Raja Ravi Varma High School
at Kilimanoor was named after him and there are many
cultural organizations throughout India bearing his name.
In 2013, the crater Varma on Mercury was named in his
honour.
• Considering his vast contribution to Indian art, the
Government of Kerala has instituted an award called "Raja
Ravi Varma Puraskaram", which is awarded every year to
people who show excellence in the field of art and culture.
