Tanjore Paintings

Tanjore paintings

This school of paintings originated in Thanjavur during the reign of the Marathas in the 16th century.


Today, this tradition is kept alive by a few hundred dedicated artists mostly based in Tamil Nadu, India. .

A typical Thanjavur or Tanjore painting would consist of one main figure, a deity, with a well-rounded body & almond shaped eyes. This figure would be housed in an enclosure created by means of an arch, curtains etc. The painting would be made by the gilded and gem-set technique - a technique where gold leaves & sparkling stones are used to highlight certain aspects of the painting like ornaments, dresses etc

Craftsvenue.com presents authentic tanjore paintings which are bright,colourful & breathtakingly beautiful.

A must for a tastefully done up home for that extra splendour!Gift your home the classic Tanjore painting this Diwali.

Marble Handicrafts

Marble Handicrafts
White marble has been prized for its use in sculptures since classical times.


It is also known as the royal stone.This preference has to do with its softness, which made it easier to carve, and a relative resistance to shattering which makes it the best choice for artisans. Also, the low index of refraction of calcite allows light to penetrate several millimeters into the stone before being scattered out, resulting in the characteristic waxy look which gives 'life' to marble sculptures of any kind, which is why many sculptors prefer marble for sculpting.

The white marble stone is widely used in temples decors,temple idols,home decor items,pooja room idols,flooring for that prestine & royal touch.

Tajmahal is one of the architecture marvels created using marble stone.
