Aishwarya Rajesh. Janaki Subamma Bai Sahib of Pudukkottai

Aishwarya Rajesh, a Tamil actress was part of this recreation of a portrait of Her Highness Janaki Subamma Bai Sahib of Pudukkottai.

Varma painted this in 1880 while he was in Tamil Nadu for a short while. He painted a lot of the royals during that time.

Varma was actually commissioned by the Maharaja Thondaiman of Pudukkottai himself to paint not only him but his wife (painted above), his sons and a few other royal family members.
