Traditional Hand-Painted Indian Canvas Art
I bring our rich Indian heritage onto canvas through meditative brushstrokes. From intricate dot mandalas to the powerful energy of folk deities, every painting is a piece of my heart, created to bring calm and color into your home.

My paintings of the Panjurli Daiva, inspired by the film Kantara. I created these two canvases to capture the powerful energy of this folk deity from Tulunadu.

About Traditional Indian Paintings
When I work on canvas pieces—like the Panjurli Daiva or Nataraja mandalas—I use high-pigment acrylics on primed cotton canvas to ensure the colors stay vibrant. Because I ship these rolled and ready for framing, you have the flexibility to choose a frame that matches your specific interior style. If you have a specific deity or a traditional theme in mind that you don’t see here, just message me so we can discuss the details.
My Approach to Traditional Art
For me, painting is a form of meditation. Whether I am meticulously placing dots for a Mandala or building texture to capture the fierce expression of the Panjurli Daiva, I am fully present in the process.
Styles I Work With:
- Dot Mandalas: I use precision tools to create geometric patterns that are not just visually calming but also deeply symbolic. These work beautifully in living rooms or meditation corners.
- Pichwai Inspired: I create contemporary adaptations of the traditional Rajasthani Pichwai style, focusing on themes like the lotus and Shrinathji.
- Folk & Regional Deities: Recently, I have been focused on capturing the energy of folk deities like Panjurli, bringing the spirit of Tulunadu into modern homes.
The Technical Bits: I use professional-grade heavy-body acrylics on high-quality primed canvas. This ensures that the pigments remain rich and the texture holds up over time. Every piece is finished with a protective varnish coat to guard against dust and moisture, keeping the colors as fresh as the day they were painted.
Customization: Since everything is handmade in my Bangalore studio, I am happy to work on custom orders. If you have a specific concept, a deity, or a story you want to translate onto canvas, reach out. We can discuss sizes, color palettes, and themes to ensure the piece fits perfectly in your sacred corner or gallery wall.
