A powerful feature by The Times of India captures the rising legacy of Raja Ravi Varma’s oleographs—once dismissed as mass décor, now commanding record-breaking attention and deep collector pride.
With the spotlight on passionate collectors like Prem Kandwal and Amar Reddy, the story traces how these prints have moved from everyday homes to museum-worthy archives. Kandwal’s journey—from a single discovery to a collection of nearly 4,000 works—reminds us that preservation is as powerful as creation.
As iconic works like ‘Yashoda and Krishna’ make headlines, the cultural and emotional value of these prints is finally getting its due—bridging art, memory and identity across generations.
Not just a revival, but a reclaiming. ❤️
