Divine Embrace

Envelop your space with the timeless essence of divine love and spiritual devotion. This exquisite artwork captures the tender union of Radha and Krishna, inviting serenity and grace into your home. You'll appreciate its ability to transform any setting into a sanctuary of peace and beauty.

Legacy of Craftsmanship

Each detail is meticulously brought to life through the ancient Tanjore painting tradition, a revered art form originating from South India. Skilled artisans employ age-old techniques, layering pure gold foil onto meticulously prepared surfaces. Vibrant, natural pigments are then applied with precision, creating a luminous depth that radiates warmth and sacredness. The result is a testament to centuries of artistic heritage, each piece imbued with the devotion of its creator.

Artistic Opulence

The canvas itself is a celebration of richness, with intricate gold work adorning every element of the divine figures and their surroundings. Delicate embellishments, including semi-precious stones, add a further layer of regal splendor. The deep, contemplative blue background serves to accentuate the radiant figures, drawing your gaze into their devotional gaze. Framed within a richly detailed border, this captivating portrayal measures approximately 7.75 inches in height and width, with a depth of 0.65 inches, making it a perfectly proportioned piece for thoughtful display.

A Tale as Old as Time

Tanjore paintings are renowned for their depiction of Hindu deities and mythological narratives, offering a window into India's spiritual landscape. This particular artwork celebrates the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna, a central theme in Vaishnavism, symbolizing the soul's yearning for the divine. The iconic iconography, from Krishna's flute-playing charm to Radha's devoted gaze, speaks volumes of their profound spiritual connection and is a cherished motif representing love, harmony, and spiritual bliss.

Sacred Spaces and Serene Settings

You'll find this piece to be an ideal addition to your puja room, meditation space, or any area where you seek a touch of spiritual elegance. It also makes a deeply meaningful gift for loved ones, conveying wishes for love, prosperity, and inner peace. Imagine its radiant presence on a console table, bookshelf, or adorning a wall, serving as a constant reminder of devotion and beauty.

Enduring Radiance

To preserve the brilliance of this sacred art, we recommend dusting it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can diminish the luster of the gold and the vibrancy of the colors. With proper care, this hand-crafted masterpiece will retain its divine aura and artistic integrity for generations, becoming a treasured heirloom.

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.
