Tanjore paintings are known for their extravagant depiction of deities using vibrant colours and gaudy embellishments with semi-precious stones and 24K gold foil. 
They are generally made to order. When seeking a Balaji Tanjore painting, artist Meera Mohan specializes in this particular deity featuring traditional Indian art. These paintings are not just artistic expressions but are also considered objects of devotion in many households. They can be both decorative and spiritually significant.
