Tanjore Paintings of the Sikh Gurus
the art of Tanjore Paintings originated in Tamil Nadu. This ancient art was patronized by the rulers of Tanjore and was at its best during the rule of Marahattas.
The art which had almost become extinct, was revived in 1960s by Mrs. Meena Muthiah (Daughter-in-Law of Rajah Sir Muthiah Chettiar, the Rajah of Chettinad) who learnt the art from the only surviving Master of the time. Tanjore Paintings are very elegant and are sought-after by the lovers of the art worldwide.
In Tanjore Paintings, Pure Gold Leaf, Pure Gold Dust, Precious/Semi-precious Stones, Vegetable dyes in basic colours, and Arabic gum are used. Due to highly intricate and artistic work involved, the paintings take very long time to complete.
