Krishna with Gopikas Tanjore Painting – Blue Skin, Carved Mandapam Frame

Description

This Tanjore painting shows blue-hued child Krishna playing the flute at the centre of a golden temple scene. Gopikas around him play the veena and other instruments, and two musicians sit at the bottom with a mridangam and a drum. Winged celestial figures hover above the temple towers against a soft blue sky. The temple structures, jewellery and borders are embossed and finished in gold foil, with natural colours for the figures. The painting sits in a carved dark wooden mandapam frame with pillars, a tiered roof, finials and brass accents. This makes it a statement piece that works as a ready-to-place pooja mandapam, which a standard frame cannot offer. It suits a home temple, a living room feature wall or a special gift. Order from Krishna Tanjore Art Gallery, Chennai.
