My Uncle had given this picture of Shri Raghavendra Swamigalu to my Mother almost 30 years back. My Mom was ready to give me this picture, but since both my parents are great devotees of Rayaru I didn’t want to take the Photo. It seems someone had painted Rayaru while performing pooje to Moola Rama Devaru. The Photos we are normally used to seeing is completely different from the one we have down here. Amazing to see our Rayaru, and really imagine how he actually looked.
I took several pictures in my camera and attached below are two such pictures in which you will see how our beloved Rayaru was.You can see how old the picture is.
May Shri Raghavendra Swamy Bless us all.

Hi Meera,
He looks very different in this picture. Whenever I think of Rayaru, only one face comes to my mind. I believe it is the same for every one. It is really difficult to imagine Rayaru’s face as something different than the familiar face that we are used to. But what is in the appearence, we want only his ashirwadagalu..
Thank you so much for sharing this treasure….

Sathya,
I agree with you. I always wanted to know and see how Rayaru looked like. He was there just like us on this earth a few hundred years ago. Even knowing the places he visited makes me feel so emotional. So, this picture brought back so many feelings in me.
That’s the reason I shared it here on my blog as well.
