Sugandha Bai was the inspiration of Raja Ravi Varma who painted first time the gods and godesses of Hindu Believes. Raja Ravi Varma saw in Sugandha Bai the face and soul of a goddess. (For him) she is passionate, possessive and hungry for love. Sugandha Bai was dressed and looked like a young Maharashtrian woman with long hair, light eyes, waist chain and a nose ring. She was helped with her familiarily with the physical patterns in Varma's paintings of women, such as, the way they tilt their hip, the way they play with their hands. Though some paintings have in which she had to expose, she chose to do it because she thought that the sensitive scene formed the story's basis. Although it was not an easy decision to take, she felt absolutely comfortable while performing the scene. One such scene is a wide angle shot that shows a bare breast of a skimpily clad Sugandha. Though this scene was aesthetically painted by Raja Ravi Varma. https://en. .org/wiki/Rang_Rasiya
