About Karnataka's Arts and Paintings

Karnataka, with its rich cultural and artistic traditions, is renowned for its Mysore paintings and Ganjifa art. These paintings are a testament to the state's historical richness and the exceptional skills of its artisans.

Mysore Paintings

Mysore paintings originated in the town of Mysore during the reign of the Wodeyar dynasty in the 17th century. These paintings were traditionally created for religious purposes, depicting Hindu gods and goddesses. Mysore paintings are done on paper, wood, and cloth using natural pigments, gold foil, and gesso (a mixture of plaster and glue). Known for their elegance and intricate detailing, Mysore paintings feature delicate brushwork, rich colors, and the lavish use of gold leaf. The subjects are often deities, mythological scenes, and royal portraits, rendered with a sense of serenity and devotion.

Ganjifa Art

Ganjifa is an ancient card game and art form that flourished during the reign of the Mughal emperors and later the Mysore kings. The game or art are believed to be originated in Persia and were introduced to India in the medieval period. Ganjifa cards are made from layers of paper or cloth painted with natural dyes and adorned with intricate designs. The cards are circular or rectangular, featuring hand-painted designs that depict mythological scenes, floral motifs, and geometric patterns. Each set is a work of art, showcasing the artisan's skill and creativity.
