If you have Indian (& especially Maharashtrian) heritage, today is a day of celebration. We honour Ganesha - the god who symbolises the removal of obstacles, wisdom & good fortune. So, to those who believe & those that don’t - I’m sending you good wishes. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!

Maharashtrian Lady by Raja Ravi Varma (Indian) - Oil on canvas / 1893 - National Gallery of Modern Art (New Delhi, India) #womeninart #art #portrait #portraitofawoman #IndianArt #RajaRaviVarma #NationalGalleryofModernArt #artwork #oilpainting #womensart #IndianArtist #Maharashtrian #fashion #beauty
This portrait of an unidentified beautiful woman traditionally dressed as a lady of Maharashtra was painted by the artist in Bombay in 1893. She is the focal point, seated at an angle and avoiding our direct gaze with a composed expression. She has dark hair pulled back neatly, a bindi (the red dot on her forehead), and various gorgeous jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, bangles, and a nose ring. Her light brown skin tone and the artist's use of lighting draws our attention to her from the dimly-lit, muted interior background. She wears a dark navy-colored sari with gold accents and a pattern of small, light-colored dots. The sari's fabric has a wonderful sheen and luster including prominent shiny gold ribbons at the edges of the garment as well as an exquisite drape over her left shoulder. Varma's attention to detail delivers a truly realistic style for the woman's features, her clothing textures, and the jewelry. His use of rich colors, light, and shadows not only highlight her beauty, but also a mood of formal dignity. Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), one of India’s most popular artists, hailed from Kilimanoor, in the state of Travancore. From a very young age, Ravi Varma, was drawn towards art, imbibing techniques from his uncle and mentor Raja Raja Varma and his mother, Umayamba Bayi, a poet in her own right. Varma was much sought after by the Royals and owing to his popularity and reputation, his spectacular and richly-textured works were prolific. His realistic portrayals of contemporary figures and interpretations of religious and mythological figures fetched him instant and enduring success, lifting his standing in the art world. If the Royals and his countrymen were in awe of this great talent, the international world was spellbound by his imagination and creativity. He ensured that art would be accessible to all, through reproductions of his paintings which were made available, and affordable to everyone.

1/3: A short thread for UK restaurant critics. When writing about an Indian restaurant, note that just because the dish name - or the restaurant name - has the word 'Bombay' in it, it's not necessarily and automatically 'Maharashtrian'. In fact very few restaurants in UK are...

2/3: First, loads of different communities live in Bombay side by side - Marwari, Sindhi, Parsi, Gujarati, Bengali, Bihari, Goan, East Indian, Bohri etc etc - and not only Maharashtrian. So the dish can be from any of those communities...

I'm reminded of "indian food" in all this tbh

What is Indian food as opposed to say, goan food or maharashtrian food or telegu food. Northern indian food vs southern. Is Mughal food indian?

Savitribai Phule, widely regarded as the first female teacher in India, pioneered women's #education by opening the country's first school for girls in Pune (w/her husband) in 1848. She overcame severe social opposition to educate girls & the marginalized. She died #OTD in 1897.

#WomensHistoryMonth
A vibrant, colorful digital portrait illustration of Savitribai Phule (1831–1897), India's first female teacher and pioneering social reformer, set against a warm golden-yellow background with faint, semi-transparent Marathi text overlay repeating phrases related to education and women's empowerment (such as "शिक्षणप्रसार" for "spread of education" and references to her work in women's upliftment). She is depicted in traditional 19th-century Maharashtrian style: wearing a bright red saree with a matching headscarf (pallu draped over her head), a light blue blouse, gold jewelry including a mangalsutra necklace, and earrings. A prominent red bindi adorns her forehead, and her expression is calm, dignified, and resolute, with large expressive dark eyes, a gentle smile, and a composed gaze directed forward. The artistic style is realistic yet idealized, emphasizing her role as a trailblazing educator who, alongside her husband Jyotirao Phule, founded India's first school for girls in Pune in 1848 and fought against caste discrimination and gender inequality. The image conveys strength, compassion, and legacy, often used in tributes for her death anniversary on March 10 or during Women's History Month.

Made a Maharashtrian popular dish "bharli wangi" (Stuffed brinjals).

Eaten with jawar roti (hand pressed roti made of sorghum flour), it's a delicious way to eat brinjals. Nutty and flavorfull gravy (lots of roasted and crushed groundnuts, dry coconut, and a freshly made spice mix).

I feel sad that folks don't get to experience more kinds of Indian food. you mostly get a type of north or south Indian food. bombay street food is picking up, but there's soooo much more. gujju, kerala, karnatak, hyderabadi, andhra, goan, bengali, kashmiri, parsi, maharashtrian, and more!! so good.

Sunday morning is mostly back to the roots cooking. This traditional Maharashtrian way of cooking the greens is one of my favorites. Generically called "peeth perun bhaji" the method extends to capsicum/onion. Lunch today was bhakti with peeth perun methi and leftovet chicken curry. #FoodSky

Maharashtrian veggie delights at Croydon's new Shree Krishna Vada Pav - a comforting misal pav (sprouted bean curry with crunchy sev, coriander and buns); sabudana khichri (tapioca, potato, green chilli & peanuts); and the eponymous vada pav (deep-fried potato patty & chutneys in a bun).

Golden, crispy, and full of flavour—Sabudana Thalipeeth is a Maharashtrian classic! Soaked #Tapioca pearls, mashed #potatoes, roasted #peanuts, cumin, and chilies add perfect kick. They're flattened and roasted with ghee - magic of textures. Recipe by Archana @ministry_of_curry! #food 🍜🍽️

My mom wrote this piece describing the first two years of her married life in Iran. My parents were happy there but the Iranian Revolution in 1979 forced them to flee. My mom was pregnant with me at the time, she and my dad had to board different planes, and a few months later I was born in Mumbai.
