Mysore's paintings are halfway between classical and popular
Indian artistic traditions. The paper equivalent of the paintings of Tanjore the paintings of Tanjore employ a cloth of fabric, is characterized by an
eloquence that is possible only for the artisans of the south. Like the fine
example you see on this page, Mysore's art includes highly expressive
paintings.
The traditional painter draws on the wealth of images provided by
Indian mythology and infuses his work with devotion in his simple heart. The theme
of this is the much discussed Rama-durbar, composed of Purushottam Rama, his
beautiful Seeta and the devoted duo of Lakshaman and Lord Hanuman, each of whom
is very much idolized in the Indian tradition, their glorified journeys,
shining examples of the their characters that are completely revived in the
Indian psyche.
