Mumbiram is a painter and author from India known for his leadership of the Rasa Renaissance art movement. He is best known for his renderings, in charcoal and color media, of the folk people of India in real-life situations. As a contemporary classical painter, Mumbiram introduced an indigenous art movement and created the Manifesto of Personalism. His concept of personalism in art has proliferated into the Rasa Renaissance movement that is based on the classical rasa theory of Sanskrit literature. It is a theory of aesthetics that puts the quality of human emotions that a work of art or literature arouses as the criterion of its excellence. Mumbiram is also known for his prema vivarta work of euphorisms, Deluges of Ecstasy, composed during his 12 years in the United States.
