Roerich had a large plantation on the outskirts of Bengaluru, called Tataguni, on Kanakapura Road, where he lived with his wife and film actor Devika Rani, till his death.
According to the Parishath, Nikolai Konstantinovich Rerikh, popularly known as Nicholas Roerich, born on October 8, 1874, in St. Petersburg, was a pivotal figure of 20th century cultural and artistic discourse. His interests covered archaeology, philosophy, literature, and visual arts. Producing over 7,000 paintings and 29 books, Roerich’s work reflects a profound engagement with spiritual and philosophical thoughts’.
His extensive travels across Central Asia and the Himalayas culminated in him settling in India where his artistic output reached new heights. Deeply inspired by Eastern mysticism, Roerich’s oeuvre is marked by a distinct symbolism and mastery of landscape, particularly his renowned use of luminous blues to evoke mystical, otherworldly spaces.
