The Portrait of the Yogi of Tiruvalla is a painting phenomenally produced by H. P. Blavatsky for Col. Olcott and Mr. Judge in New York. However, just before they left for India, it disappeared from its frame in Olcott's bedroom. On August 23, 1879, while Blavatsky, Olcott, and Damodar were conversing in the office at Bombay, the portrait fell through the air on the desk at which Col. Olcott sat.[1]
