An artist who used his brush and palette only to paint image of Lord Venkateswara till his last breath

The Hindu  

A work of art transcends time, and so does the artist, who lives on forever in his creation. But Kadambi Rangamani was a class apart, for he used the brush and palette only to paint the image of Lord Venkateswara and His consort Goddess Padmavati, till his last breath. Undaunted, Rangamani started his first solo portrait of Lord Venkateswara using Indian ink, and when it drew laurels, continued to paint more. With black paint providing the background, multiple hues were used to elevate the image of Lord Venkateswara, as seen in the sanctum sanctorum at Tirumala. After completion, he used to perform ‘sahasranama archana’ to the image before giving it away,” his elder daughter Shailaja Lakshminarasimhan told The Hindu.
