A classical artform from southern India, Tanjore painting is a celebration of the region’s rich artistic tradition, named after the town of Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, India. Known for their extravagant depictions of deities using vibrant colours such as reds, greens and blues along with gaudy embellishments, especially ornate gold. Common themes in Tanjore paintings include Bal Krishna, Lord Rama, as well as other subjects from Hindu mythology. The technique of Tanjore painting demands a great deal of perseverance and perfection from artists. A legacy carried forward for over three centuries, Tanjore Paintings are a true symbol of devotion, art and heritage.
