Lady with Sitar
Size: 5 X 5 Ft
Inspired by Raja Ravi Varma’s iconic Kadambari (Playing Sitar), this contemporary reinterpretation explores the dialogue between classical grace and modern luxury.
The woman in this painting embodies timeless poise — her silk saree, jewellery, and serene expression evoke the sacred femininity Varma so beautifully captured. Yet, beside her rests a Hermes bag — a quiet but powerful statement of today’s womanhood: aspirational, independent, and rooted in legacy.
The peacocks behind her mirror her aura — regal yet restless, ornamental yet alive. The sitar becomes more than an instrument; it’s a metaphor for balance — between tradition and transformation, art and ambition, melody and materialism.
Through Lady with Sitar, I reclaim the narrative of the Indian muse — not as a passive subject of beauty, but as a creator of her own symphony. This piece celebrates the continuity of Indian aesthetics, proving that elegance evolves, and that the modern woman can be both — the raga and the revolution.
