Read BIOGRAPHY
A detail view of an oleograph that depicts Vishu appearing to Dhruva, an ascetic devotee of Vishnu. Dhruva is seated against the backdrop of cliffs and forest, under a large tree that forms the right hand side of the image, looking towards Vishnu. Vishnu appears proportionally larger than Dhruva, and is adorned with zardosi fabric with yellow and red garment, and pink, white and grey garland.
