Painted on handmade paper with mineral colours, the work has been done by a Jaipur-based artist, Virendra Bannu, who is a seventh generation artist in his family and has been taking forward the legacy of his family in specialized miniature art form. After receiving his degrees in painting, Bannu has been training students from around the world in miniature art techniques using traditional methods and materials, which he continues to use for his own paintings.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Smt. Vijaya Mehta Ji. She will be remembered as one of the towering personalities of culture and cinema.

A pioneer of modern Marathi theatre, she was known for her creativity and commitment to artistic excellence. Her work inspired generations of actors, directors and theatre lovers.

My thoughts are with her family, admirers and the entire artistic fraternity in this hour of grief. Om Shanti.

विजया मेहता जी यांच्या निधनाने अत्यंत दुःख झाले आहे. सांस्कृतिक आणि चित्रपट क्षेत्रातील एक उत्तुंग व्यक्तिमत्त्व म्हणून त्या सदैव स्मरणात राहतील.

​आधुनिक मराठी रंगभूमीच्या त्या प्रणेत्या होत्या, सर्जनशीलता आणि कलात्मक उत्कृष्टता यांच्याप्रती असलेल्या निष्ठेसाठी त्या ओळखल्या जात होत्या. त्यांच्या कार्याने अभिनेते, दिग्दर्शक आणि रंगभूमीप्रेमींच्या अनेक पिढ्यांना प्रेरित केले.

​या दुःखद प्रसंगी त्यांच्या कुटुंबीयांप्रती, चाहत्यांप्रती आणि संपूर्ण कलाक्षेत्राप्रती माझ्या मनःपूर्वक संवेदना व्यक्त करतो. ओम शांती.
