When I asked another vendor the price of a Ravi Varma lithograph, the reply came back as ₹80,000 for one piece.
Not a typo. Not a premium frame. Just a lithograph.
₹80,000.
And that’s when I realised something…
Most people think lithographs are “just prints,” so they assume expensive means better — but that’s not always true.
Now look at the piece we curated at Ancient Madurai for ₹13,000.
This is not a simple print you frame and hang.
This is a heritage-style collectible, brought to life with real, tactile craftsmanship:
✨ Original silk saree fabric is hand-stitched directly on top of the lithograph, creating a true three-dimensional effect.
✨ Saraswathi’s drape is not printed — it’s actual silk cloth, cut, pleated, and shaped with precision.
✨ The shimmering details are real silk threads, embroidered by hand to give depth, richness, and texture.
✨ The entire piece has the elegance of temple art, the softness of vintage Madurai work, and the grace only handmade detailing can create.
So when someone quotes ₹80,000 for a plain lithograph, I smile.
Because I know what we offer at Ancient Madurai is not only fairly priced — it’s far more meaningful, far more detailed, and far more lovingly made.
We believe heritage should be experienced, not inflated.
We believe art should feel like it belongs in your home — not in a museum behind a barrier.
And we believe honest pricing is part of preserving culture.
If you’re someone who values craft, story, and authenticity…
this Saraswathi lithograph will speak to you the moment you see it in person.
Ancient Madurai — Honest pricing. Timeless heritage.
