A Glimpse into Divine Majesty

Immerse yourself in the profound symbolism of the Trimurti as embodied by Sadashiva, the eternal. This exquisite artwork captures the divine presence, inviting contemplation and reverence into your sacred space. You'll be captivated by its intricate detail and the luminous quality of its execution.

The Artisan's Touch, The Master's Hand

Each stroke of this masterpiece is a testament to the enduring tradition of Tanjore painting, a revered South Indian art form. Crafted with meticulous attention, it utilizes vibrant natural colors and authentic gold leaf, applied by skilled artisans who have honed their craft over generations. The painting is set within a rich, vintage teakwood frame, chosen to complement the artwork's inherent warmth and gravitas, ensuring its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for years to come.

Visual Splendor and Rich Detail

The composition unfolds with a central figure possessing five heads, symbolizing the five faces of Shiva, each representing a distinct aspect of his cosmic nature. Numerous arms extend, each holding symbolic objects that convey power, protection, and spiritual wisdom. The meticulous gold work, with its raised relief and intricate patterns, imbues the artwork with a divine luminescence, drawing the viewer into its opulent details. The vibrant hues of natural pigments create a rich tapestry that contrasts beautifully with the deep, grounding tones of the teakwood frame.

Echoes of Ancient Philosophy

Tanjore painting itself dates back to the 16th century, flourishing under the patronage of the Maratha rulers in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. This art form traditionally depicts Hindu deities, saints, and mythological narratives, serving as a devotional and decorative medium. The depiction of Sadashiva, a form of Lord Shiva that encompasses the supreme consciousness and the primal aspect of creation, destruction, and preservation, speaks to the philosophical depth of Shaivism. The surrounding figures and symbolic elements further enrich the narrative, offering insights into ancient Vedic traditions and beliefs.

A Sanctuary of Serenity

This commanding piece, standing at 45.50 inches in height and 34.50 inches in width with a depth of 5.00 inches, is designed to be a focal point in any refined setting. Imagine it gracing your meditation room, enhancing your living area with its spiritual aura, or adorning a sophisticated office space as a symbol of strength and wisdom. It serves not just as decor, but as an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect with a profound sense of peace and cosmic order.

Enduring Beauty and Reverence

To preserve the brilliance of this creation, avoid direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth is recommended to maintain the luster of the gold work and the vibrancy of the natural colors. With proper care, this artwork will not only retain its exquisite beauty but will also become a cherished heirloom, imbuing your home with spiritual significance and timeless artistic value for generations to come.

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.
