Featured Handcrafted Tanjore Paintings
Authentic Tanjore art created with 24-karat gold, genuine Kundan stones, and a 40-year family legacy.
This is where the magic happens. Watch as a simple sketch transforms into a divine portrait of Lord Ganesha, brought to life with layers of traditional gesso work, shimmering 24K gold foil, and vibrant color. Each step is a meditation, a tradition we have cherished for generations.
Feel the divine presence of Lord Balaji. This close-up shows the incredible detail we pour into every painting, from the precisely set Swarovski crystals to the intricate gold work that makes the deity's ornaments shine with heavenly light.
The soul of Tanjore art is pure, 24-karat gold. Watch as we delicately apply gold foil to a painting of Goddess Lakshmi. This sacred process transforms the artwork, infusing it with a symbol of purity, divinity, and abundance that will last for generations.
This art is our family's story. Here is my mother, Vani Bhaskar, who started this journey 40 years ago. She shares how this divine art form is a meditation, bringing peace and connecting us to a tradition that she has lovingly passed down to me.
A portrait of the complete divine family, Shiva Parivar. Creating a piece with multiple figures like Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha, and Kartikeya requires a deep understanding of balance and composition, ensuring each deity's essence is captured in harmony.
We love creating custom painting sets for our clients' pooja rooms. Here, I explain the thought process behind designing a cohesive set of four paintings, ensuring they are aesthetically pleasing and spiritually significant for their new home.
We also love to explore and blend traditions. This unique piece is a fusion of two beautiful Indian art forms, combining the divine face of Shrinathji from Pichwai art with the rich gold and embossing techniques of Tanjore painting.
Welcome to our studio! I am so excited to share our collection of handmade paintings with you. Each piece is crafted with 24-karat gold, real Swarovski crystals, and most importantly, with lots of love, ready to bring blessings to your space.
About Featured
When you choose a piece from our studio, you are not just buying art; you are bringing home a 40-year family tradition. We use genuine 24-karat gold foil and high-quality Kundan stones, avoiding shortcuts like synthetic fillers. Whether it is a miniature for your desk or a heritage piece for your pooja room, every painting goes through our traditional slow-process of Sudha embossing, ensuring it remains a blessing for your home for generations to come.
Our Process: From Sketch to Sanctity
Tanjore painting is a meditative practice for us. It begins with the preparation of the base, using cloth-pasted wood and a layer of limestone gesso, which we treat with care to ensure durability. We strictly avoid synthetic fillers, relying instead on traditional 'Sudha' (limestone and gum paste) for the high-relief embossing that gives our deities their depth and presence.
Why 24K Gold Matters
For us, gold is more than decoration. It represents purity and abundance. In every painting, we apply authentic 24-karat gold foil that catches the light in a way that modern alternatives simply cannot mimic. It is this specific material, combined with the precision of our hand-setting of Jaipur Kundan and Swarovski crystals, that gives our work its divine shine.
Custom Deity Art for Your Home
We love working on custom commissions for pooja rooms and special spaces in your home. If you have a specific deity in mind, whether it is a traditional Balaji, a serene Lakshmi, or a complex Shiva Parivar, we sit with you to discuss the iconography, size, and aesthetic.
We invite you to visit our studio in Basavanagudi to see these pieces in person or to discuss your custom requirements. Every piece we create comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing the materials used.
Tanjore Collective
My mother started our studio 40 years ago, and today, we continue that tradition here in Basavanagudi. We don't just paint; we create spiritual anchors using pure gold and traditional Sudha work, hoping to bring the same peace to your home that we find in ours.
