Mysore painting is a form of classical South Indian painting, which evolved in the Mysore city of Karnataka. During that time, Mysore was under the reign of the Wodeyars and it was under their patronage that this school of painting reached its zenith. Quite similar to the Tanjore Paintings, Mysore Paintings of India make use of thinner gold leaves and require much more hard work. The most popular themes of these paintings include Hindu Gods and Goddesses and scenes from Hindu mythology. The grace, beauty and intricacy of Indian Mysore Paintings leave the onlookers mesmerized.
Many famous artists like Sri K.S. Shreehar the painter who tried to revive and establish the family heritage in a more concrete manner. Apart from the subjects like Raja Rajeshwari, Sri Rama-pattabhisheka, Kodandarama, Tripuraasura-Samhaara, 32 forms of Ganesha and familiar themes of traditional painters of Mysore, Mr. Shreehari proved his expertise in the paintings of such exotic themes like a zigzag puzzle like 'Panchanaari-Turaga', i.e., figure of horse comprising five female figures and 'Navanaari-Kunjara' i.e., figure of elephant comprising nine female figures. One of his works entitled 'VirataVishwaroopa' testifies to his eye for minutest details and a creative imagination, it represents a form of Vishnu embodying the entire universe with all its animate and inanimate objects.
Mysore Art plays a very important role in the part of Mysore's culture and traditions and must be appreciated more and one can learn the history behind this beautiful art.
