Hyderabad artist’s viral Instagram video sparks global support for temple paintingA viral Instagram video has brought global attention to Hyderabad artist Ram Singh, who is seeking specialised brushes unavailable in India to complete his Sri Sri Srinivasa Kalyanam painting, which he plans to donate to the TTD temple after completion. By Yuvraj Akula Published Date - 6 August 2026, 02:55 PMHyderabad: From a Kondapur roadside to thousands of mobile screens across the world, a viral video has changed the way people see an artist’s work besides extending support for it. Ram Singh, a Hyderabadi who has been painting since 2000, never expected a video of him working on a 3×4 Sri Sri Srinivasa Kalyanam painting on a roadside to go viral on Instagram. Camlin Oil Colour Linseed, Quick Dry Brushes, Camel Brush 000-2 and Camel Brush 000 are his requirements from the US. For the 60-year-old artist, the painting is not meant for sale but for donation to the TTD temple once it is completed.
