Lord Venkateshvara as Balaji Tanjore Painting Tanjore paintings are famous for their unique depictions of devotional icons with pure gold coating and vivid colors. In this painting, Lord Venkateshavara stands straight atop a small elevated platform in His four-armed form (chaturbhuja). He is unprecedently dressed in a perfectly pleated pitambar (bright yellow) dhoti down to His ankles. Between the two fingers of His upper hands, He holds His Sudarshan Chakra and the Panchajanya Conch Shell, while the lower hands are in the boon granting Varada Mudra and resting posture. A serpent is coiled around each of His upper arms. Elaborately decorated with different ornaments and beautiful flower garlands, Lord’s black complexioned body shines throughout the painting.
