Raja Ravi Varma, born in 29 April, 1848 at Kilimanoor Palace, transformed Indian art by blending traditional Indian storytelling with European oil painting techniques. From sketching with charcoal on palace walls to creating lifelike depictions of gods and epic characters from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, his work brought mythology to life. Through his lithographic press, he made art accessible to ordinary homes across India—turning timeless stories into visual heritage. 🎨✨ Al artwork, storytelling & video by © firos.nv #RajaRaviVarma #IndianArt #MythologyArt
