Thota Vaikuntam

'Thota Vaikuntam is a legend in contemporary Indian Art. His dark and dusky beauties, the Telangana women, have become icons much loved and sought after by the connoisseurs, as are his pandits and other village folk...There is an interesting mix of tradition and contemporaneity in his work... This book is an attempt to tell the story of the artist and his Telangana women, his encounters with destiny, which has brought him to the high pedestal where he is today.' - extracted from book jacket.
