Raja Ravi Verma immortalised the Nauwari Sari in his paintings… but very few people know about the playing cards that were produced by his printing press at Lonavla. He has used Indian mythological characters… but in distinct Marathi dressing style!
A blog that captures the happenings in Maharashtra and rest of the Marathi World (Bruhanmaharashtra) through the eyes of a 3M – Madhyamvargiya Marathi Manoos (Middleclass Marathi Man). Neither is it a view of the anglicized minority which has lost touch with its roots... nor does it speak for the Marathi masses who may lack the “worldview”. Just a somewhere-in-between viewpoint… but a firm viewpoint indeed!
