Artist Notes
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (19 February 1630 - 3 April 1680), was a Maratha sovereign who founded the Maratha Empire, which, at its peak, covered much of the Indian subcontinent, encompassing a territory of over 2.8 million km².
Shivaji as an aristocrat of the Bhosle clan led a resistance to free the Maratha people from the Sultanate of Bijapur and the Mughal Empire and established self-rule of Hindu people.
He created an independent Maratha kingdom with Raigad as its capital. Today the Maratha kingdom is called Maharashtra. Bombay (Mumbai) is the capital.
He was crowned as Chhatrapati ("sovereign") of the Maratha empire in 1674. This statue is in the western suburbs of Bombay facing the Arabian Sea. He is seen leading his troops for the battle with his sons.(the other one is not fully visible. Sorry for that)

seshadri_sreenivasan
Seshadri is an engineer by profession. He holds a degree in electrical engineering and is also a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers in India. He lives in Mumbai, India and is an independent consultant in the marketing of industrial products.
This background might seem entirely unconnected with the world of art, but for decades Seshadri has been wielding the brushes as a hobby. Although he is an entirely self-taught artist ,he has held a few one-man shows to his credit and been part of regional group exhibitions in Bombay, Bangalore, and Delhi in the 70's and 80's. In the new Millennium he has had private shows in New York and San Francisco in the years 2006 and 2008.
Caught up in the rat race, however, he had little time to devote to my canvasses and virtually gave up painting. But the new millennium brought with it a new phase of creativity, and he has again finding himself painting and capturing the evanescent moments of life.
Recent Achievements:
...
He is a top ranked traditional artist and is currently holding the #3 position.
He is also an active reviewer and is holding the #5 spot on the top ranked reviewer list.
