Thanjavur (anglicised as Tanjore) painting is a peculiar, ancient, miniature type of painting that flourished in the Maratha court of Thanjavur around 1600 AD. The paintings have a high degree of difficulty not only in terms of the intricate detailing involved but also the patience and focus required. In an age where digital art and design are more prevalent, only a few of the artists practice this style of painting today. This art is fading away with time which is a concern. However, there is a silver lining. Meet Ms. Swarna Raja Kochi, award winning Tanjore artist, exponent and art teacher from Bengaluru, who has taken up the challenge to revive and bring new flavours in this traditional art not only to evolve the painting, but also to keep it relevant in today’s world.

Life is not only too short for boring clothes, but also for boring walls! Walls can be much, much more than a backdrop or a space used for putting up shelves or hanging pictures. Anakims Varghese and Kapil Sharma strive to make boring and empty walls beautiful and a reason of praise and envy amongst all. Engineers by profession and Artists by passion, the duo founded the wall art startup Wall n' Creations five months back and have already beautified over 1000 square feet of space with their amazing creativity and artwork.
