The Royal Elephant-A Tanjore Painting







Here is a different Tanjore painting...

Usually Divinity is the principal subject dealt with 

in traditional Tanjore paintings...

But of late,other themes  are also being tried and 

depicted in this medium...

I have depicted a Royal Indian Elephant in this art form...

The basic sketch is from a Rajastani  miniature painting 

but see how well it fits into this style...

Makes one wonder what this decorated ,

bejeweled , majestic pachyderm is waiting for?

Carry the King or the Queen on a Royal procession?

Or carry the Deity on a holy procession?
