A.M. Mali (1871–1922), from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, was a versatile artist trained under Abbalall Rahiman. After working at Chitrashala Press in Poona, he moved to Bombay, where he interacted with Ravi Varma and M.V. Dhurandhar, adopting their mythological painting style. Mali founded Gurudas Studios in South Bombay and illustrated works by Kanhayalal M. Munshi. His notable works include Jatayu Vadh from the Ramayana, featured in Maharashtra school textbooks, and a painting of Shri Khandoba of Jejuri. Mali’s art spanned mythology, portraits, still life, and landscapes, with several works displayed at the Aundh State Gallery in Satara.
