Mysore Paintings

Mysore Paintings are among India’s most refined classical art traditions, originating in the royal courts of Karnataka under the patronage of the Wodeyar kings. Renowned for their elegant line work, soft colour palettes, and exceptional intricacy, Mysore paintings represent a harmonious blend of spiritual devotion and artistic precision. Each composition is carefully structured, reflecting balance, serenity, and divine grace—hallmarks of this revered school of art.

Traditionally depicting Hindu gods, goddesses, and sacred mythological themes, Mysore paintings are distinguished by meticulous brushwork, layered watercolour techniques, and the restrained yet luminous use of authentic gold detailing. Unlike heavier relief styles, Mysore art emphasises finesse and delicacy, allowing ornamentation, expressions, and iconography to emerge with refined clarity and timeless appeal.

At Chitra Veethi – The Gallery of Indian Art, our Mysore painting collection is handcrafted by skilled artisans who follow traditional methods passed down through generations. Each artwork is an original creation, reflecting cultural authenticity, spiritual depth, and enduring craftsmanship. Ideal for temples, puja spaces, elegant interiors, and auspicious gifting, Mysore paintings from Chitra Veethi are treasured not only as devotional artworks but also as heirloom expressions of India’s classical artistic legacy.
