Artisanal Craftsmanship: Mysore Inlay

This exquisite panel is an authentic example of Mysore wooden inlay, a traditional art form originating from the city of Mysore in Karnataka, India. Celebrated for its intricate detailing and the use of natural materials, Mysore inlay is a testament to the skill and artistry passed down through generations. The artisans meticulously craft each piece, using a variety of woods like rosewood, sandalwood, and ebony, along with ivory or bone (now replaced with sustainable alternatives) to create breathtaking patterns and scenes. The process is labor-intensive, requiring immense patience and precision, transforming ordinary wood into extraordinary works of art.

A Saint's Vision: Depicting Holiness

This panel depicts the revered Hindu saint, philosopher, and Dvaita Vedanta scholar, Guru Raghavendra Swami, also known as Rayaru. He is often considered a reincarnation of Prahlada, the devout devotee of Lord Vishnu, who, according to the Bhagavata Purana, was saved by Narasimha, Vishnu's half-man, half-lion avatar, from the cruelty of his demon father, Hiranyakashipu. Here, Guru Raghavendra is shown engaged in writing, a depiction symbolic of his scholarly pursuits and vast body of literary works that expound on philosophy, devotion, and righteous living. He is accompanied by Rama and Krishna, two of the most beloved avatars of Vishnu in the Hindu pantheon. Rama, the epitome of righteousness, and Krishna, the embodiment of divine love and wisdom, stand as a testament to the saint's deep devotion and spiritual attainment. The presence of Rama with Krishna elevates the scene, reinforcing the saint's profound connection to Vishnu and the universality of his teachings. The scene behind the saint shows deities seated above what appears to be a library, indicating the volumes of the Hindu tradition upon which the saint bases his teachings.

A Masterpiece of Devotion

The natural colors used in the inlay work enhance the panel's earthy charm and bring a sense of serenity and depth to the depiction. The intricate detailing, combined with the rich hues of the wood, creates a visually captivating piece that not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an object of reverence. This panel is more than just a decorative item; it is a window into the spiritual realm and a tribute to the enduring legacy of a great saint. This piece is perfect for those seeking to add a touch of authentic Indian artistry and spirituality to their home or office space. It is a unique and meaningful addition to any collection, serving as a constant reminder of devotion, wisdom, and the timeless beauty of traditional craftsmanship.

Tips to Care for and Maintain Mysore Wood Inlay Paintings

Woodwork is a prized possession, and it deserves to be cherished that way, especially regarding Mysore's wood inlay work. However, it is prone to damage if not cared for properly. Certain things need to be kept in mind while caring for it. One of the most important things to be done is to avoid exposure to direct sunlight since it can cause the color of the wood to fade away. Exposure to extreme heat and extreme cold must also be avoided.

In order to maintain the shine of a Mysore rosewood handicraft, wax polish can be used on it.

Do not let dust stay settled on the surface of Mysore wood inlay products for a long period. Keep dusting them regularly. To clean them, use a dry cloth gently on the surface to remove the dust.
Wood inlay products have a lot of gaps and crevices due to the technique used on them, and that is where dust particles can be collected. Avoid the accumulation of dust in these crevices by using fine brushes with soft bristles.
Ensure that you do not let the Mysore wood inlay products come in contact with moisture and humidity, as it can cause fading and warping of the wood.
Avoid the usage of alcohol-based liquids on the surface of the Mysore rosewood product since alcohol can corrode the product's surface.
Do not use harsh chemicals and detergents to clean the wood since abrasive cleaners can damage the wood. Use wood-friendly soap if necessary, and let it dry after cleaning.
Dry immediately in case of spillage of liquids on the surface of the item.
Mysore wood inlay products are invaluable art pieces, and they deserve proper and regular care. Better care for them means longer life.

How Mysore Wooden Inlay Paintings Are Made ?

Wood inlay is a historically significant art form from the 18th century. It arrived in India through Srirangaptnam in Mysore from Persia but has become an inevitable part of the Indian heritage. Tipu Sultan and the Wodeyars/Wadiyars are credited with the growth of this 400-year-old art form in Mysore and its neighboring areas. Wood inlay work is usually done on a Mysore rosewood base, and other woods are used, like mango, kadam, jackfruit, rubber, doodhi, etc. Pieces of wood are adorned with beautiful motifs and patterns made from various materials. From wall hangings and paintings to jewelry boxes and furniture, many items are made using the Mysore wood inlay technique. An outline is etched on a piece of rosewood with a sharp tool. Then, the area inside the outline is hollowed out, and materials like lacquer, enamel, contrasting wood, and sometimes even gold and silver are placed inside it. A sandpaper is used to give a smooth finish to the surface.

Process of Mysore Wood Inlay Work -

The first step in the process is selecting the base and the design to be carved onto it. Planks are cut out of Rosewood logs in many shapes like square, rectangular, oval, or even circular. The surface is smoothened, and the sides are evened out.

The second step is creating the designs for the inlay on paper. These designs are then traced on transparent paper and then transferred to the surface of the desired material, such as another type of wood, lacquer, plastic, etc.

After that, the design is traced onto the rosewood planks. Using a coping saw, the designs are cut, and the rough edges are smoothened using a smooth file. Once that is done, the wood inside the outline is scooped out, leaving groves in the plank.

After that, the design cutouts are fitted in the groves, and the surface is beaten with a hammer to ensure the designs stay firm and in place. In case of any gaps, they are filled using a mixture of glue, rosewood, and sawdust.

The final step in creating Mysore wood inlay products is cleaning and polishing the items with beeswax. A coating of lacquer is applied to give them a glossy touch.
