KRISHNA WITH BAMA AND RUKMINI -MY TANJORE PAINTING

Here is Krishna with his consorts

Bama and Rukmini-

depicted in  Tanjore style art

popularly called Tanjore Painting...

As you know,this style of painting

has its roots is Maharashtra...

It was brought to Tanjore 

during the rule of the Maratas

and it flourished here and 

are popularly known as Tanjore paintings or

Thanjavur paintings or

 Thanjai paani oviyam...

KALINGA NARTHANAM - MY TANJORE PAINTING

Here is Lord Krishna,

depicted in my tanjore painting,

dancing victoriously on 

the vile Kalinga,the five headed snake...

Here is the story of Kaliya marthan or Kalinga nardhanam...

Kaliya (IAST:Kāliya, Devanagari: कालिय), in Hindu mythology, was the name of a poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River, in Vrindavan. The water of the Yamuna for four leagues all around him boiled and bubbled with poison. No bird or beast could go near, and only one solitary Kadamba tree grew on the river bank.

The proper home of Kāliya was Ramanaka Dwipa, but he had been driven away from there by fear of Garuda, the foe of all serpents. Garuda had been cursed by a yogi dwelling at Vrindavan so that he could not come to Vrindavan without meeting his death. Therefore Kāliya chose Vrindavan as his residence, knowing it was the only place where Garuda could not come.

Once Krishna and herdboys were playing ball, and while playing Krishna climbed up the Kadamba tree and hung over the river bank, the ball fell into the river and Krishna jumped after it. Kāliya rose up with his hundred and ten hoods vomiting poison and wrapped himself around Krishna's body. Krishna became so huge that Kāliya had to release him. So Krishna saved himself from every attack, and when he saw the Brij folk were so much afraid he suddenly sprang into Kāliya's head and assumed the weight of the whole universe, and danced on the naga's heads, beating time with his feet. Then Kāliya began to die. But then the naga's wives came and prayed to Krishna with joined palms, worshipping Krishna and praying for their husband.

Kāliya, recognizing the greatness of Krishna, surrendered, promising he would not harass anybody. So Krishna pardoned him and then let him go free to leave the river and go to Ramanaka Dwipa...

PILLAYAARPATTI PILLAYAAR-MY TANJORE PAINTING

Here is my painting of Lord Karpagavinayaka  of Pillayaarpatti...

He is fondly known as Pillayaarpatti pillayar.

This is an offbeat  and contemporary painting in Tanjore style....

Pillaiyarpatti is located near Thiruppathur, Sivagangai District of Tamil Nadu. It is situated between Kundrakkudi and Tiruppatthur. Pilliyarpatti is 12 Kilometers away from Thiruppatthur and 3 kilometers from Kundrakkudi. Pillaiyarpatti Karpaga Vinayagar is carved out in a cave of Pillaiyarpatti Hillocks. Lord Vinayagar is carved out from the rock of the cave. Lord Thiruveesar is also carved in the rock of this cave. The temple was built under patronisation of Pandyas. The age of the cave temple is 2500 years or more. There are 14 stone Sculptures in the cave ( dated from 500 BC to 1284 AD ). These stone Sculptures state the ancient names of Pillaiyarpatti such as Ekkattoor, Thiruveenkaikkudi, Maruthangudi, and Rajanarayanapuram.

Pillaiyarpatti temple is a rock-cut temple located in Thiruppatthur, Sivagangai District. It was built after viewing a hillock by the early Pandiya kings. The image of Pillaiyarpatti Pillaiyar and that of a Siva Lingam were carved out of a stone by a sculptor named Ekkattur Koon Peruparanan who put his signature on a stone inscription, in Tamil Language used between the 2nd and 5th century AD, found even today in the sanctum. It can be concluded that the icon of Pillaiyarpatti Pillaiyar must have been carved around 4th century AD.

Pillaiyar (Vinayagar), the God of Victory is the main deity here in the name, Pillaiyarpatti Pillaiyar.

This temple is the only one in Tamil Nadu which contains a 6 feet rock-cut Pillaiyar idol. The Thumbikai of Lord Pillaiyar is curled towards his right side and so the God is also known as Valampuri Pillaiyar. The chettiyar (nagarathar) community has kept the temple clean. Chettiars are the only community whose subcastes are divided based on Sivan Temples. e.g. subcastes like Pillayarpatti, Elayatrankudi and etc.

• Vinayagar’s trunk is curved at the right side (Valampuri Vinayagar) which is also a unique feature. Lord Karpaga Vinayagar is seated facing northern side.
• There are deities in this temple such as goddess Karthiyayini (who arranges marriages), Nagalingam (who gifts offspring), Pasupatheeswarar (who showers all wealth).
• Vinayagar Chathurthi is this temple's most important festival. It is 10 days long. Kappaukkattutual and hoisting temple flag begin before 9 days. On the 9th day car festival and much celebrated decoration of sandal covering ( Santha-na-kkappu) to Pillaiyar takes place.
• Devotees who observe Chathurthi Fast for a year come to Pillaiyarpatti on Avani Sukkilaptcha Chathurthi day (Festival) and fulfills it. They observe fast on Chathurthi day in front of vinayagar sannaidhi and take part in “ KumbaJebam” and receive holy water.

There is a one Pilliyar painting, in which Pillayar's eyes will look at us wherever we stand.

MAYOORA-A TANJORE PAINTING

Usually, Hindu religious icons are depicted

in Tanjore Paintings- a traditional art form of India.

In this painting, I have chosen to portray 

a glorious peacock -an all time favorite 

Indian motif...In fact,

You can hardly find  an Indian art form

where a peacock is not depicted in it's unique style...

and true to the tradition of Tanjore paintings,

here is a peacock embellished 

in gold and semi precious stones...

before beginning any new venture...

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?

Here is a 20 year old Tanjore painting-

one of the first Tanjore paintings I did...

I still remember those tense moments

when I carefully shaped her saree pleats 

and  mildly shaded the lotuses....

and She is in my house all these years 

showering me with Her Diving blessings....

Obeserve her sitting in

 Padmasana or The Lotus Pose...

In two of Her hands she holds lotuses

while one (right) hand shows the Abhayamudra

(sign of protection) the left hand shows 

the Varamudra (symbolising granting of boons)...

Tanjore Painting of mine ...
