	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">A prolific artist, Varma is believed to have made around 7,000 paintings before his death at the age of 58. His most famous works include<strong> Damayanti Talking to a Swan, Shakuntala Looking for Dushyanta, Nair Lady Adorning Her Hair, </strong>and<strong> Shantanu and Matsyagandha</strong>.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Varma was born into aristocracy at Kilimanoor in the erstwhile Travancore state of present-day Kerala, and was closely related to its royal family. </span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">His uncle, Raja Raja Varma, noticed the younger Varma&rsquo;s talent, and gave the latter initial lessons in painting.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">At the age of 14, Varma was patronised by Ayilyam Thirunal, the then ruler of Travancore, and went on to receive training in watercolours from Ramaswamy Naidu, the royal painter. </span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Later, Varma studied oil painting with the British painter Theodore Jensen. Apart from Travancore, Varma also worked for other wealthy patrons such as the Gaekwad of Baroda.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Varma worked on both portrait and landscape paintings, and is considered among the first Indian artists to use oil paints. Apart from painting Hindu mythological figures, Varma also made portraits of many Indians as well as Europeans.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Varma is also known for having mastered the reproduction of his work on the lithographic press, through which his paintings spread far and wide.

<ul>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Savitribai Phule married activist and social-reformer Jyotirao Phule. After marriage, with her husband&rsquo;s support, Phule learned to read and write and both of them eventually went on to found India&rsquo;s first school for girls called Bhide Wada in Pune in 1948.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Since at that time the idea of teaching girls was considered to be a radical one, people would often throw dung and stones at her as she made her way to the school.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule recognised that education was one of the central planks through which women and the depressed classes could become empowered and hope to stand on an equal footing with the rest of the society.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Phules also started the Literacy Mission in India between 1854-55. They also started the Satyashodhak Samaj (Society for Truth-Seeking), through which they wanted to initiate the practice of Satyashodhak marriage, in which no dowry was taken.</span></span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Though her poems, she advocated values such as humanism, liberty, equality, brotherhood, rationalism and the importance of education among others.</span></span></p>

	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">It was set up so that pregnant Brahmin widows and rape victims can deliver their children in a safe and secure place thus preventing the killing of widows as well as reducing the rate of infanticide.</span></span></p>
