Vintage framed lithograph of Lord Narasimha, printed by the Ravi Varma Press, Malavli-Lonavla.

This is a vintage devotional lithograph from the Ravi Varma Press, Malavli-Lonavla, published from Moti Bazar, Mumbai.

The publisher’s imprint is visible along the bottom edge, which makes it of interest to collectors of Indian popular prints and to devotional-art lovers.
