Antique Thanjavur paintingsare a beautiful art form from Tamil Nadu, India. They started in the 16th century during the rule of the Nayaks and Marathas. These paintings are special because they use bright colors, gold foil, and intricate designs.

The paintings usually show Hindu gods and goddesses like Lord Krishna, Lord Ganesha, and Goddess Saraswati. Artists paint on wooden panels covered with cloth. They use natural colors and add gold foil to create a divine effect. Some paintings also have precious stones for extra beauty.

Thanjavur paintings are known for their unique style—round faces, large eyes, and graceful expressions. These antique pieces are now rare and highly valued. Many people collect them, and skilled artists still create them to preserve this ancient tradition.
