Tanjore Painting
Tanjore Painting is a traditional Indian art form that originated in the town of Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. Known for its rich colors and intricate details, these paintings often depict Hindu deities and scenes from mythology. The use of gold foil adds a distinctive shine, making the artwork visually striking.
The technique involves layering colors and applying a base of wood or cloth. Artists use natural materials like minerals and vegetable dyes to create vibrant hues. Tanjore Paintings are not only decorative but also hold cultural significance, often used in religious ceremonies and as offerings in temples.
