A towering fibreglass mural with terracotta images of Rahul, Anil Kumble [Images], and former cricketers like Javagal Srinath, G R Vishwanath, B S Chandrashekar, E A S Prasanna, Syed Kirmani and Brijesh Patel was unveiled outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Sunday.

It took six months for her to create the work of art, Pushpa said.

"I wanted to do some work on legends of Karnataka that lives on for 100 years", added Pushpa, an artiste who was teaching in the Department of Architecture before her famed son was born.
