makes us unique. It is this culture that sets us apart from the rest and gives
us a feeling of belongingness. With the flow of globalization and entry of western
way of life, we often tend to forget how our ancestors used to live and thus
miss experiencing some of the most aesthetic moments.
Raja Ravi
Varma is one of the most celebrated Indian painters who greatly influenced the
future generations of Indian painters and brought Indian painting to the
attention of the larger world. Through our initiative of organizing ‘Chaitranjali’
to award talented Indians artists, our endeavor is raising awareness as preserving
the unique art of Prince Raja Ravi Varma. Together we look forward to encouraging
the talented artists of this generation by providing them with the recognition
that they deserve.”
