This is a series of five paintings about Sita’s life during her exile in the forest, where she’s shown interacting with animals in the forest - deer, rabbits and even buffaloes. The ones with the deer are interesting because she’s shown riding them as if they were horses. Could this be a re-imagining of the story of Maricha, the golden deer (with silver, sapphire, moonstone, black jet and amethyst spots on its body). The deer depicted in this collection is just as resplendent, in glowing pink and bright green. In the Ramayana, Ravana had approached Maricha to turn into a golden deer and graze in the vicinity of Rama's ashram. On seeing the deer, Sita would surely tell Rama and Lakshman to catch it. When the brothers left Sita alone, Ravana would abduct her. But what if Sita had managed to capture the deer herself, rather than send Rama. Would the story be different?

Siddharth Katragadda is an Indian-American Artist who has been painting since he was around five. He started exhibiting and selling his art only in 2008. From 2008 to 2015, he was very prolific, selling nearly 50 of his Abstract “Dark Indian Women” series paintings to private collectors across the world. In 2010, his work was acquired by famous filmmaker Mani Ratnam. He took a break from painting in 2015, to focus on films and writing, before returning to art in 2022, when he painted a series of 12 Western paintings in what he calls Holeism style, based on various humanitarian issues, including abortion, race, war, violence against women, climate change, guns and border issues. He also returned to his abstract Indian women, creating the first of his Timism style paintings. As an artist, he believes that an artist's primary objective should be to capture a culture – and that a culture can be best understood through its women. He aims to develop his own styles of painting that progress art in new directions. His experiments are seen in all his paintings. He says, "my art has three sides - the three Ss: Story, Social Impact and Shift (Innovation). My work is not strictly meant to decorate walls, but to decorate minds, each with a story - a message for social change. A hundred years from now, I want my art to be a time capsule of society as it exists today. I also place a high value on innovation; as Picasso said, every painting series has to move art in a new direction... never repeat yourself or others. I am proudly the founder of the "Holeism", “Timism,” "Soulism," “Classicism” and "Feminism" art styles, which I hope to popularize." Sid's paintings have been exhibited and collected worldwide. He has sold over a 100 paintings in a career spanning from 2008 to present, with collectors in India, Dubai, Australia, Singapore, and America.
