This ensures the stones stay set and the gold remains brilliant, so please reach out a few weeks in advance if you have a specific date in mind for a gift or a housewarming. Tanjore art is one of my absolute favorites because it is such a meditative process. It is not just about painting; it is about building texture and depth. I start by preparing a wooden board with chalk powder and gum Arabic, creating that signature 3D relief work that makes the deities pop. Once the structure is ready, I carefully set the semi-precious Jaipur or Kundan stones before applying the 22-carat gold foil sheets. I specialize in traditional deities like Ganesha, Lakshmi, and Murugan, which are perfect for a pooja room setting. The deep red and black backgrounds I use create a beautiful contrast with the gold, giving the piece a rich, traditional look. Since this is an authentic craft, the piece needs some love to last. Keep your painting away from direct moisture and extreme humidity, and it will stay as a family heirloom for years. I am happy to work with you on custom sizing and specific deity requests. If you have an idea for a mural or a special spot in your home, let’s talk and create something meaningful together. ## About Shikha Goel Hi, I am Shikha.
