There's no better way to celebrate the 'Father of Modern Indian Art', Raja Ravi Varma, than through a showcase that delves deep into the many layers of his life. On the occasion of Varma's 176th birth anniversary (which fell on April 29), the Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation opened the exhibition Daughter of Providence within its premises on Bengaluru's Lavelle Road that will go on till May 30.
"The idea behind the showcase was to highlight various elements of Ravi Varma's illustrious legacy, particularly his granddaughter-Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi-the last ruling queen of the erstwhile Travancore kingdom," says Gitanjali Maini, the foundation's CEO.
