Gramya Devi
Ram Viranjan
Ram Viranjan’s work reflects his belief in a world where humans, birds, animals, and plants live together in harmony. His paintings express this idea of unity and equality. He has a career of 29 years, beginning as a Fine Arts lecturer at J.V. Jain College, Saharanpur. His exhibitions include: - 2005, Allahabad — Sponsored by the UP State Lalit Kala Academy at Nirala Art Gallery, University of Allahabad - 2005, Chandigarh — At Punjab Lalit Kala Academy Dr. Ram Viranjan’s contemporary Indian art celebrates harmony, folklore, and nature.
Description
Dr. Ram Viranjan's 'Gramya Devi' is a poetic tribute to India's rural heritage, celebrating the rural goddess as a symbol of the divine connection between nature and humanity. The artwork's mystical harmony is conveyed through an ethereal palette of blues and purples, blending folklore and spirituality. The goddess, depicted amidst flora and fauna, radiates serenity and nurturing grace, her form rich with symbolic details.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- The interplay of indigo, lavender, and turquoise creates a dreamlike, devotional atmosphere.
- The goddess figure merges strength and gentleness, embodying the essence of rural divinity.
- Folkloric motifs — birds, fish, and flowering plants — speak of cycles of life, earth, and renewal.
- Dr Viranjan’s signature miniature-inspired detailing enriches the surface with quiet rhythm and grace.
Dr. Ram Viranjan is a senior Indian artist known for his refined figurative style that bridges mythology, nature, and everyday life.

A scholar and educator as well as a painter, Dr. Viranjan continues to influence younger generations with his deep engagement with Indian cultural heritage.
