His Highness Raja Ravi  was born on 29th April 1848, in Kilimanoor, a small town of Kerala. He is known for his amazing and colourful paintings, which revolve mainly around the great epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana and other ancient Indian literatures. Raja Ravi Varma is one of the few painters who have managed to accomplish a wonderful merging of the Indian traditions with the techniques of European academic art. He is really a king among the painters and a painter among the kings.
