Uyirmei Arts & Crafts India is a Coimbatore-based studio specializing in handcrafted Tanjore paintings, brass and panchalogam god idols, and custom Kula Deivam (family deity) art commissions. We courier all over India and ship internationally.
You can buy authentic, handcrafted Tanjore paintings directly from our studio in Coimbatore (Vilankurichi) or order online at uyirmeiartandcraftindia.com, with delivery across India and worldwide.
Prices depend on size, technique (Flat Painting, 2D Embossed, or 3D Embossed), and the amount of gold foil and detailing used. Smaller ready-made pieces are more affordable, while larger custom commissions are priced individually — contact us for a quote based on your requirements.
Genuine Tanjore paintings are labor-intensive: each piece involves hand-applied gold foil, relief work (embossing) with a gesso paste, natural pigments, and a solid wood base, taking artisans days to weeks per painting depending on size and detail.
