A painting by artist Tom Vattakuzhy at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale has drawn criticism from Christian and Catholic groups who allege it distorts religious imagery and disrespects their faith. The Syro-Malabar Church condemned the depiction of 'The Last Supper,' noting a similar artwork was withdrawn in 2016. Curators stated the work, inspired by a story about Mata Hari, uses nudity in historical context. The artist denies the claims lack factual basis.
