Press Release Body = The name *Tanjore is derived from Thanjavur, the southern part of Tamilnadu state in India where the highly admired and ornamented style of painting originated and propagated. It is the only surviving art of its type i.e. paint based art form of ancient India. (All other known paintings of latter years are water colour based). Each Tanjore painting was made layer after layer, first on cloth, often many layers, then stretched upon and pasted upon a wooden plank. Upon this base, a glue was applied to mark out the relief areas .This formed the base on which the elaborate decoration was anchored with jewels, both precious and semi- precious and also pearls. Pure gold ornaments were hammered by hand into fine thin slices of wafer like quality deftly applied on to the work of art, the color remains as such without retouching and they are extremely bright, red , yellow, blue, black , and white, of all shades
