    Solution to puzzle #4854

    Raja Ravi Varma

    [​IMG]

    One of the greatest Indian artist and painter. His work is a perfect blend of European techniques used in the Indian context.

    Image 1:Lithographic printing press. Raja Ravi Varma had a lithographic printing press. He also made oleographs of his oil paintings so that they would be available to more patrons.

    Image 2: Kaisar- i- Hind gold medal award given to the artist by Lord Curzon on behalf of the British Emperor in 1904.

    Image 3: J.J Institute of Applied Arts or J J School of Arts, Mumbai, where Ravi Varma got his training.

    Image 4: Dushyanta and Shakuntala. Ravi Varma is particularly noted for his paintings depicting episodes from the story of Dushyanta andShakuntala, and Nala and Damayanti, from the Mahabharata.

    Image 5: This was my giveway clue. The Gods and Goddesses by Raja Ravi Varma were very popular and having one in one's prayer room was considered a matter of pride. If you look closer this Ravi Varma print of Saraswati is in the top right corner.

    The people in Taiwan are quite friendly. It is also very safe in Taiwan. I could walk in late evening or hire a taxi without any fear. What I found interesting was that there is a lot of trade between Taiwan and China. Taiwanese have business in China and Chinese have businesses in Taiwan even though there is political rivalry between the two nations or parts of China. People can travel freely between China and Taiwan. I am sure that people of China also would be very friendly with Indians.

    @Viswamitra I thought of making a puzzle on Marie A.
    For one of the clues, I was going to take a pic of a lady's finger (okra) with its head neatly cut. :shock: :hide:
