The entire composition, measuring an impressive 33 inches in height and 27 inches in width, is framed by a stately border, enhancing its regal presence.

Echoes of Ancient Reverence

Tanjore paintings, originating from the southern Indian city of Thanjavur, are renowned for their religious themes and rich decorative style. This particular rendition pays homage to Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe in Hindu mythology, alongside his earthly manifestations of wealth (Shridevi) and the earth itself (Bhudevi). The inclusion of celestial attendants and musical figures at the base further enriches the narrative, evoking a sense of divine celebration and devotion that has resonated through generations.

A Statement of Sacred Elegance

This painting is ideally suited to grace the walls of your living room, meditation space, or entryway, where its divine presence can inspire and uplift. It serves as a magnificent focal point, inviting contemplation and conversation. Whether you are seeking to enhance your spiritual practice or to add a touch of unparalleled artistry to your home décor, this piece offers a profound and beautiful statement.

Preserving Timeless Brilliance

To ensure the enduring brilliance of this precious artwork, we recommend dusting it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the gold foil and delicate pigments. By following these simple care instructions, you will preserve its magnificent beauty for years to come, allowing it to remain a cherished heirloom and a source of divine inspiration for generations.

Gilded Elegance: Unraveling the Artistry of Tanjore Paintings

Tanjore painting is a traditional form of art in the South Indian style and was started by the inhabitants of a small town known as Thanjavur of Tamil Nadu. This gives it another name called “Thanjavur painting”. This painting draws its figures, designs, and inspiration from the time when Vedic culture was prevalent in India. Certain remarkable features of a Tanjore painting distinguish it from other paintings. Some of these are pure gold or gold foil coating on gesso work, the use of rich and vivid colors, and the inlay of cut-glass or semi-precious and precious stones. The subjects of most of the Tanjore paintings are Hindu Gods, Goddesses, and saints. The main devotional figure is portrayed in the central portion of the painting and is usually surrounded by various secondary figures.

The process of making a Tanjore painting

The classic Tanjore paintings are done on wooden planks and hence are also referred to as Palagai Padam in South India (Palagai = Wooden plank, Padam = Picture). Creating a masterpiece is never an easy task but the skilled artists of Thanjavur have been following the tradition of making timeless Tanjore paintings for decades.

The making process begins with preparing the wooden board or canvas. The size of the board depends upon the choice of the patron. The next step is to paste cardboard over the wooden board and then a cotton fabric is stretched and pasted upon it using Arabic gum.

Now that the cloth is attached to the wooden panel, a rough sketch of the motifs and figure is drawn onto the fabric. After this, a paste of chalk powder and water-soluble adhesive is evenly applied over the base and smoothed.

Thereafter, the outlines which were made or traced using a stencil are now ready to be beautified and decked with various add-ons. The usual materials for decoration are cut-glass, pearls, semi-precious and precious gems, gold leaf, and laces. 22 or 18 Karat Gold leaves and gems of varied hues are especially inlaid in areas like pillars, arches, walls, thrones, and dresses. In the final step, the rest of the painting is filled with rich and striking colors such as shades of red, blue, and green. Formerly, the artists used natural colors like vegetable and mineral dyes instead of chemical paints. The entire painting is then cleaned and refined to give a flawless finished look.

Since the making of a single piece of Tanjore painting requires a complex and elaborate process, the artists usually take at least one or two months to complete it. The use of pure gold foil and gems for beautification is a characteristic of an authentic Tanjore painting. Due to this, Tanjore paintings last for generations without getting tarnished and are much more expensive than general paintings. Though the art form has undergone various changes and technique modifications over the years, it continues to attract the hearts of art lovers.
