Despite his frugal arsenal of tools and paints, Raju’s artworks are, looking at the video amazing, there is a Facebook video by Kerala-based Manorama News TV which seems to show that Raju has suffered from mental problems, He was apparently a trained artist and designer, but one day he started behaving oddly and eventually left home and never returned, hopefully he will be looked after and a benefactor might be found, but what a talent he truly has.
