About Glow of Hope
"Glow of Hope" is displayed in the Sri Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery at the Jaganmohan Palace in Mysore, India. The painting shows an Indian woman holding a lighted lamp in one hand, the other hand covering the light of the lamp from the front. The woman is in a simple and traditional Indian saree. The effect of the painting is heightened by the shadow of the woman in the back.” This painting is easily mistaken as a work of Raja Ravi Varma. If you look at the painting, it has almost everything you might find in a beautiful Ravi Varma painting. The realistic approach, the sari-clad south Indian woman, the level of detail etc. It has every element of the traditional touch that you are likely to come across in a Ravi Varma painting. While the association of Ravi Varma to this painting seems legit, the fact remains, there is little chance Ravi Varma even saw this painting! In addition, this painting is not even titled ‘Lady with the lamp’! The real artist behind this glowing piece of work is S.L.Haldankar and the painting is titled ‘Glow of Hope’. To make things even more interesting, the woman in the painting is S.L.Haldankar’s daughter, Gita Haldankar!
