Category:Chitra Ramayana
Chitra Ramayana (Illustrated Ramayana) is a simplified story of the great Indian epic in Kannada. The type is bold and beautiful. The thick pages have become brittle and need careful handling. Printed by B. Miller, Superintendent, British India, Press, Mazgaon, Bombay. It was published by, Shrimat Balasaheb Pandit Pant Pratinidhi, chief of Aundh, at Aundh, Satara district. The Kannada version is by Ramachandra Madhwa Mahishi
The date shown is 1916. It is all the more important because the book contains illustrations painted by the publisher also called Bhavan Rao Shrinivas Rao, the ruler of the state of Aundh himself.
This present book, an old edition of Ramayana perhaps, originally contained, 70 paintings based on various anecdotes and events connected with Rama. Balasaheb painted them – to bring out the message of Ramayana better. This dilapidated volume now contains only 37 of the paintings. Other loosely pasted paintings are torn or fallen off. Unfortunately, every surviving painting has the stamp of Nanjangud Public library. Some Ancestors of Dr. Rajeshwari might have borrowed or acquired the book, which later came into safer hands! Kamat Potpourri gratefully acknowledges, Dr Rajeshwari's willingness to use the pictures of the great Art lover, Balasaheb Pandit Pant Pratinidhi who published this Chitra Ramayana and liberally provided illustrations to make the story of Rama highly interesting.
