FAQs

The Tanjore paintings are popularly known as Paladai Padam, which means painting on a wooden plank.
The painting tradition developed when the Chola empire was at its zenith. It originated in Thanjavur, a small town about 300 kilometers from Chennai which gave it the name ‘Thanjavur paintings’, now popularly known as Tanjore paintings. The religious paintings of Thanjavur show that spirituality is the essence of all creative work. The art continued to flourish from the 16th to the 18th century under the patronage of successive rulers such as the Nayakas, Marathas, Rajus of Tanjore and Trichi, and Naidus of Madurai.
The themes of Tanjore painting are based on Hindu gods and goddesses. The most famous of the deities is Krishna, who is depicted in various styles and poses.
