The Sacred Legacy of Tanjore Art

"Authentic Tanjore art is not merely a painting; it is a timeless confluence of sacred devotion, rich Indian heritage, and meticulous craftsmanship adorned with pure gold leaf."

Tanjore (Thanjavur) paintings are one of India’s most celebrated ancient art forms, originating in the 16th century under the patronage of the Chola and Nayaka rulers. At Art House by Ruhika, we preserve this sacred heritage by handcrafting each masterpiece using traditional, time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

Every artwork begins with high-grade teakwood framing and unbleached cotton cloth, layered with natural muck paste to create exquisite 3D relief work (gesso decoration). Embellished with authentic 22-karat gold leaf and precious Jaipur gemstones, our paintings bring divine grace, spiritual energy, and regal elegance to your living space.

Mastering Divine Artistry

Behind every Tanjore masterpiece lies hundreds of hours of painstaking detail, unwavering devotion, and precision. We bring sacred Indian iconography to life with authentic gold leafing and heirloom quality.
