Mysore painting is an important form of classical South Indian painting that originated in and around the town of Mysore in Karnataka, encouraged and nurtured by the Mysore rulers in the 17th and 18th centuries. Mysore painting with an illustrious history – tracing its origin back to Ajanta times. Since then it has progressed to be known for its elegance, muted colors, and attention to details. More than mere decorative pieces, these paintings are designed to inspire feelings of devotion and humility in the viewer.
