Raja Ravi Varma painting ₹167.2cr sets modern Indian art record

Varma's 1890s work exceeds ₹120cr estimate

Painted in the 1890s, Yashoda and Krishna captures maternal love through mythological figures, a style Varma was known for mixing with European art techniques.
The piece was expected to fetch up to ₹120 crore but soared past that mark.
Saffronart's Minal Vazirani called it a defining moment, pointing out how Indian art is making waves globally after back-to-back record-breaking sales.
