A highly decorative and collectible vintage Riddhi Siddhi Ganapati oleograph, based on the celebrated devotional composition associated with Raja Ravi Varma and the Ravi Varma Press tradition.
The magnificent composition presents Lord Ganesha seated majestically beneath a ceremonial royal parasol, richly adorned with an elaborate crown, jewellery and floral garlands. He is accompanied by Riddhi and Siddhi, traditionally associated with prosperity, accomplishment and spiritual success, while a group of elegantly dressed female attendants surrounds the divine assembly.
Two Mushak, the sacred vehicle traditionally associated with Lord Ganesha, appear at the base of the composition, adding an especially charming and unusual detail to this richly populated devotional scene.
The combination of vibrant red, green, turquoise and golden tones, together with the detailed jewellery, traditional sarees and ceremonial setting, gives the image the unmistakable grandeur of early Indian devotional chromolithography.
The Museum of Art & Photography documents Ravi Varma Press imagery of Riddhi Siddhi Ganapati, while historic references date Ravi Varma Press versions of the subject to approximately the early 20th century. �

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
