Tanjore Paintings

You can come across a great collection of Tanjore paintings at www.craftswithdesign.com. These paintings have a very rich legacy. People from southern Tamilnadu have been following this style of painting from past two centuries. This art thrived in Tanjore, the capital city of the chola dynasty, and thus got its name. The paintings are known for their embellishment in the form of gold, semi-precious stones, pearls and glass pieces. Since the art flourished when beautiful and striking temples were constructed, most of the paintings are of Gods and Goddesses. You can gift these paintings at different functions like weddings, diwali and other occasions.
