Sri Rama Vanquishing the Sea - Varuna the Lord of ocean, pacifying Sri Rama, angered at the intransigence of the sea to give way to enter Lanka.
Oil painting on canvas by Raja Ravi Varma.
At the Sri Jayachama Rajendra Art Gallery, Jaganmohan Palace, Mysore, Karnataka.
Another gem
amazing
Look at the anger in the eyes of the Lord and his stance...a Masterpiece !
What happened to the Lord's janeU?
This is one among Ravi Varma paintings in Ravi Varma Hall in JM Palace. Ravi Varma was invited by Mysore Maharaja and he executed paintings in the Mysore Palace Durbar Hall, which also has similar big paintings of his.
@Mahadev ji, look closely, Janeyu is in its place, it has something to do with opacity.
Yeah Thanks,Gourav, I think I spotted it after you asked me to see it a second time. Well then, I thought that the janeU has become transparent due to sweat, may be...
WOW. I Love his paintings and this is new for me!
And I want to go to the Mysore Palace Durbar Hall at once!
lovely.......!
@ Sumedha... The Mysore palace is a treat to the eye....Durbar hall and all,. If architecture and interiors are an interest.... Quite a collection of Ravi Vermas too...
Lovely to see Sri Ram in this painting
