Materials & Craftsmanship
Raw Materials:
Base Board: High-density water-resistant plywood bonded with premium cotton canvas.
Gold Element: Genuine 22-karat gold foil, ensuring a lifelong metallic glow that does not tarnish easily.
Inlays: Polished semi-precious stones and vibrant Kundan glass stones are used to decorate the crown, jewelry, and throne.
Binding Medium: A traditional mixture of limestone powder (Chalk powder) and natural gum (Arabic gum) for the 3D relief work.
Manufacturing Process:
Surface Preparation: The board is coated with a paste of limestone and binder, then sanded repeatedly until it reaches a marble-like smoothness.
Free-hand Sketching: Artists trace the iconic form of Ganesha, ensuring precise details of the trunk, ornaments, and posture.
Mucku Work (Embossing): The signature Tanjore 3D effect is created by applying a thick paste to the areas intended for gold covering. This creates a tactile, raised surface for the jewelry and the throne.
Stone Placement: Stones are fixed into the wet paste before it hardens to ensure they are deeply embedded.
Gold Gilding: Delicate sheets of gold leaf are applied over the embossed areas with surgical precision, highlighting the divine architecture of the painting.
Associated Processes:
Fine Detailing: Once the gold work is dry, the artist uses fine-point brushes to paint the skin tones and the intricate folds of the silk garments.
Cleaning & Polishing: The gold is gently rubbed with soft cotton to enhance its natural sheen.
Traditional Framing: The painting is housed in a deep-profile wooden frame, specially designed to accommodate the thickness of the relief work and provide a “shrine” like appearance.
