An artist in Mysuru has paid his homage to film star Puneeth Rajkumar by sketching the latter’s portrait using rangoli art, on the occasion of the late actor’s 11th day death ceremony.
Raghavendra Rao, drawing teacher at Kala Prapancha, has outlined the late actor’s image using various rangoli colours. He took almost 24 hours to complete the work.
Mr. Rao, who is also a purohit, started sketching on Sunday and finished on Monday evening. “The colours that I have used were procured from Nashik and Pune. The rangoli appears like a portrait painting,” he said.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
