Shiva


This has been in my sister's collection for a very long time (some 40+ years). There was a competition among school teachers (annual School Day Competitions) - shooting basketball. My sister got the max points and got the first prize. She was told to buy anything worth Rs.6 and she (with the help of Ms.Krishanamma decided upon buying this).

This has been in her collection for four decades. The last time I went to India, I told her how much I liked it and how much I looked for one such image for myself in so many years. She immediately offered it to me. I told her to keep it with her till the very end as it has been in her show case for such a long time and not part from it ..
