SUKH AND RAMBHA: Sukh was the son of Vyasa Maharishi who was born with the blessing of Lord Shiva. He was a resplendent and handsome youth but was spiritually inclined. The request of his father to follow the path of Gruhasthashrama or the life of a householder was refused by Sukh. Sukh immersed himself in meditation when Urvashi attempted to distract him. Her attempts were in vain and Urvashi was dismayed.
This Oleogtaph from the Ravi Varma Press Ghatcoper oldest dated back to Circa 1896 .and derived from a painting by Raja Ravi Varma depicts the dejection of Urvashi upon her failed attempt to distract the youthful Sukh from his austerities. The print is however erroneously titled ‘Sukh and Rambha. Conservation of this oleograph being done by INTACH Delhi .
