C.J. Ramanujam's iconic oleograph depicting Lord Venkateswara accompanied by his consorts Lakshmi and Padmavathi is a masterpiece of Indian art that captures the divine beauty of Hindu mythology. In this exquisite composition, Lord Venkateswara, the preserver and sustainer of the universe, is portrayed standing majestically on a pedestal amid a palace temple setting. He has four arms carrying his sacred attributes like a conch shell (sankha), discus (chakra), and a lotus flower (padma), and the lower right hand is in Varad Mudra symbolizing blessings. The symbolism in Hindu mythology is very fundamental as the conch shell symbolizes the primordial sound of creation, the discus represents the cosmic wheel of time and the lotus flower stands for purity and enlightenment.

Ramanujam's mastery of color, composition, and detail is evident in every aspect of this oleograph. The subtle Pitambara color of lord Vishnu’s attire contrasts beautifully with the rich red and blue, green hues of the surroundings. The elegant silk attire, jewellery, and real gold and silver Zari work enhance their ornate beauty. Overall, the intricate detailing, textures, and colors combined with the celestial aura create a composition that is ethereal in nature.

This is a limited edition capsule collection of original oleographs/ chromo lithographs from the 1920's and 1930's created at the original Raja Ravi Verma Printing Press.
