ABOUT TANJORE PAINTINGS

Tanjore paintings are classical south Indian painting style, that originated from Tanjore in Tamil Nadu. It developed during the reign of the Maratha rulers between the 17th and 19th centuries. These paintings are characterized by their rich and vivid colors, simple iconic composition, glittering gold foils overlaid on delicate but extensive gesso work and inlay of glass beads and pieces or very rarely precious and semi-precious gems. They essentially symbolize ancient themes of traditional gods and goddesses.

DESCRIPTION

Krishna is the All-attractive Supreme Lord who descended on the earth like an ordinary man to please His devotees and engage them in His transcendental pastimes. Whoever hears or reads His Vrindavan pastimes simply enters into the state of trance.

The painting that you see here is completely absorbed in pure love that represents the selfless relationship between Mother Yashoda and her sweet child Krishna. Although Yashoda was unaware of the fact that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, she loved Him more than anything and anyone. This can be seen in this painting very well. She is attired in a bright Yellow saree and golden blouse. Her black dense hair is gathered in a bun at the back which is adorned with a gold bun holder. She embraces baby Krishna who sits on her lap enjoying the motherly affection of Mother Yashoda. He is clad in a short-length dhoti and decorated with a peacock feather on His head. His blue complexion resembles the color of fresh monsoon clouds and the soft smile on His moonlike face gives Him an innocent look. Anyone who sees this Tanjore style painting can feel the reciprocation of pure love that has been shown between Mother Yashoda and baby Krishna.
