[amp_mcq option1=”Shakuntala” option2=”Damayanti” option3=”Sita Swayamvaram” option4=”Nala-Damayanti” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: A) Shakuntala<\/strong><\/p>\n Raja Ravi Varma was a 19th-century Indian painter who is considered one of the most important artists of the Indian Renaissance. He is best known for his paintings of Hindu mythological and historical subjects.<\/p>\n One of his most famous paintings is titled “Shakuntala,” which depicts the heroine of the Sanskrit play “Abhijnana Shakuntalam” by Kalidasa. The painting shows Shakuntala, a beautiful young woman, being reunited with her husband, King Dushyanta, after many years of separation.<\/p>\n The other options are also paintings by Raja Ravi Varma, but they are not as famous as “Shakuntala.” “Damayanti” depicts the heroine of the Mahabharata, who is abducted by the demon king Narakasura. “Sita Swayamvaram” depicts the scene in the Ramayana where the princess Sita chooses her husband, Rama, in a contest of archery. “Nala-Damayanti” depicts the story of the king Nala and his wife Damayanti, who are separated by a series of unfortunate events.<\/p>\n All of these paintings are beautiful and well-known, but “Shakuntala” is perhaps the most famous of Raja Ravi Varma’s works. It is a stunning depiction of a classic Indian love story, and it is a testament to the artist’s skill and artistry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”Shakuntala” option2=”Damayanti” option3=”Sita Swayamvaram” option4=”Nala-Damayanti” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[983],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kerala-state-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n
