Stories from the epics helped Raja Ravi Varma think and imagine his subjects. In this photograph you see him reclining on a stone bench in his studio as he listens to scholars recite poems and tell him stories of Hindu mythology. Many of the artist's paintings were based on these stories and from the tales that his mother Umayamba regaled him with.
