Mohini painting- Raja Ravi varma

                                                                         mohini

Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906) was famous artist from South India. Many of his paintings are preserved as precious collection. To have a rich look, business people buy such paintings and keep it in the reception hall,central hall of hotels,shops etc., His oil painting of Mohini is very enchanting. The thoughts of one's mind fly even faster than the swing of Mohini. It is not only romantic but also ever constructive and peaceful.
Fortunately I got one such old painting of Mohini. I would like to sell it out for the benefit of my children. Those who are really interested to by can contact me through e-mail ; maydhanam@gmail.com

Ram Dharbar coin

Ram Dharbar coin

Very few  old coins are not only rare but also have some historical and ethical background. In this aspect the Ram Dharbar coin is the foremost and oldest of all.

Rama is well known as hero of Ramayana (an Indian ethics).He is supposed to be a standing example to the world how a man should be. By living, he conveyed some meaningful messages to the eternal society. A woman for a man, living as monogamy is always best to avoid AID, always be ready to fight against illegal activities and crime.

Ram Dharbar coin is the only remainder to keep this message among people.It is a picturesque piece.

It can be considered as a valuable gift of divinity. Possession of such a coin corrects oneself internally by generating good thoughts and guides in a right way externally.

I have a Ram Dharbar coin, the photo of which is herewith given for your view. It was kept in the prayer room of my grand parents. For the benefit of my children and grand children I want to sell it out. Those who are really interested to  buy may contact me though email:meydhanam@gmailcom.
