Ganapati with his consorts Riddhi and Siddhi ca. 1900-15 India Ganesha, the elephant-head son of Shiva and Parvati, is worshipped by all Hindus as the protector of those embarking on new ventures, be they businesses, students or travelers. All public events and performances begin with a homage to Lord Ganesha to secure his boon of success. In this richly colored impression Ganesha is depicted enthroned on an elaborate architectural throne-seat, embracing his two beloved consorts, Riddhi and Siddhi. The artist Ravi Varma honors Ganesha with all the necessary regalia of crown, parasol, and female attendants with fly-whisk fans. His crown is framed by a nimbus of peacock feathers. The detailing of the jewel encrusted gold crown and necklace are amongst the finest known in the print art of this period and the especially rich inking of this impression has further enhanced their tactile beauty. His corpulent body signals his likely origins as an ancient nature deity (yaksha), an association

Shesha Narayana ca. 1900-15 India Vishnu, here referred to by his epithet Narayana, aroused from his slumber on the divine serpent Shesha is one of the great creation myths of Brahmanism. Here the artist Ravi Varma has reinvented the narrative, displaying an enthroned Vishnu, seated regally with his two consorts, Lakshmi and, depending on the tradition being followed, the Earth goddess Bhudevi, or Sarasvati. All are depicted as young and beautiful, and richly dressed and bejeweled, the colors of their robes reflected in the shimmering waters before them. The throne that they share is formed by the body of the serpent Sesha and the five-hooded head arching behind to form a royal canopy. Vishnu displays his four insignia, the discus, conch, club and lotus. This is one of a series of large scale images of divinities that the artist Ravi Varma produced at his lithographic press studio near Karla, Lonavla in the Western Ghats that consolidated his position as the leading artist in this genr
