Quotes of others about Varma

• The more I saw, the more I admired the Master's genius — his uncanny ability, through the magic of his brush to depict mood, emotion and atmosphere and to encapsulate the whole story in the selected scene. I felt even then that a state of the art folio on his works needed to be brought out. Only, I never imagined that it was I who would eventually be doing it. ~ Parasram Mangharam, author of Raja Ravi Varma, The Painter Prince, in the Deccan Herald (26 October 2003)
