There is a long, distinguish English and Indian tradition of watercolor architectural drawing that Harathi fits into quite neatly. His watercolors render the doodling complexities of ancient Indian architecture with precision and a certain romantic flair.Wednesday, November 10, 2004 Dan Bischoff Star Ledger

Harathi's watercolor paintings are from his series "Royal Palaces of Hyderabad," which document the melding of architectural styles from India, Islam and Britain.Thursday, November 11, 2004 Ava Gacser Home News Tribune

Hyderabad native Murali Harathi has opened a window to the Indian city's Victorian period and its vanishing palaces through a series of watercolors, Pushing Past: The Royal Palaces of Hyderabad… Friday, November 05, 2004 Susan Van Dongen, Princeton Packet

…... So much of India's heritage has been lost due to the climate, greed, and illegal trade. Those who cannot make to India can at least see its amazing heritage through the illustrated works of artists like Harathi. …Omar Khalidi Aga Khan Program Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Murali Harathi shows his appreciation for the stately buildings of his birthplace…. … Lori Hill Philadelphia Citypaper 2003

For Murali Harathi watercolor is the ideal medium to evoke the architecture of this erstwhile Princely state, says ….Jeet Thayil India Abroad NY 2003

In the 26 works on view, Harathi, who is an architect by training, renders more than architectural details: he tells also a royal story, of princes living it out in style, seeking the acceptance of their colonial suzerains by copying their architecture, in a climate inhospitable to that kind of architecture so that they turned in no time into ruins
… Jyotirmoy Datta News India Times NY 2003

Art connects Easton landscapes to foreign lands…. The work is at once precise; revealing the trained hand of the draftsman and at the same time offers a loose brush stroke, and eye for color that serves to distinguish it..
