When it comes to preserving the soul of South India’s most sacred painting tradition, Ethnic Tanjore Arts stands as Chennai’s most trusted name in authentic Tanjore art work. Founded over 120 years ago and backed by five generations of master artisans, this Chennai-based gallery has dedicated itself to keeping the brilliance of classical Thanjavur craftsmanship alive — one gold-foil masterpiece at a time.
A Tradition Rooted in the Chola Dynasty
Tanjore art work traces its origins to the magnificent Chola dynasty of the 9th century, where temple towns like Thanjavur, Kumbakonam, and Thiruvarur became the cradles of devotional painting. Each artwork begins with a cloth-pasted wooden board, hand-sketched deity motifs, and a carefully layered process of chalk paste relief work — before being adorned with original 22-karat gold foil, precious gemstones, and vibrant natural pigments. The result is a luminous, embossed painting unlike anything produced by modern techniques.
What Ethnic Tanjore Arts Offers
At Ethnic Tanjore Arts, every piece in the collection is 100% handmade by skilled in-house artisans. The gallery offers a wide range of traditional Tanjore paintings featuring beloved deities including Lord Balaji, Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, Murugan, Shiva-Parvathi, Radha Krishna, and Hanuman. Customers can also explore antique-style Tanjore paintings, custom-made pieces tailored to specific size and deity preferences, and exclusive Tanjore paintings for home décor and gifting occasions.
