Anupama Parameswaran, for a very long time, felt the yearning within herself for Raja Ravi Varma’s timelessness, felt envious of his muses and wanted to be one of them, having been immortalised on canvas in all her elegance. And now she becomes the personification of that legendary lotus nymph Padmini for the January-February cover, an utterly breathtaking homage to Varma’s art.
