Art of Gold

The beauty of Tanjore paintings.

Indian art is unique and rich in culture. However, many art forms have faded away over the years since the works have not been preserved to the extent they should have and the artists have had to move on to other professions due to lack of financial support. However, these days, certain art forms are being preserved and nurtured. “Tanjore art” is one such art which is famous for its rich culture and beauty.

This form of painting is mostly used to depict the various Gods and Goddesses. These paintings have vivid colors and an amazing composition. It is also called the Art of Gold as gold foils are used to add beauty to the paintings. The painting below is that of Lord Ganesha.
