The Vijayanagar kings were pivotal patrons of art and architecture. Their royal support allowed painters and sculptors to thrive, enriching the region's cultural heritage. This strong encouragement was essential in fostering Mysore style artworks, helping the tradition flourish for generations.
Following the Vijayanagar empire's decline, many skilled artists moved to various parts of South India, including Tanjore and Surpur. This migration introduced fresh local influences, leading to diverse art forms like Tanjore painting and Kerala mural art. Mysore creations remain closely linked with this historical and cultural exchange.
The Significance of Mysore Yashodha Painting
The Mysore style is highly regarded for sophistication, vibrant colors, and meticulous craftsmanship. This art form is famous for its delicate application of gold leaf, which adds radiance and elegance. The tradition has been carefully preserved, with each generation passing down techniques that celebrate Mysore’s artistic heritage.
Sadly, many original murals and paintings found in temples and palaces were lost during wars involving British forces and regional rulers such as Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan. Nonetheless, surviving Mysore Yashodha Paintings retain immense cultural significance. They continue to be treasured by art lovers worldwide.
Most surviving works date to the reign of Mummadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar III (1799–1868 AD). His era marked a cultural renaissance, raising painting, sculpture, music, and dance to new heights. Artworks with 22KT gold leaf from this period are highly prized for their quality and beauty.
King Krishnaraja Wodeyar III actively supported artists known as Chitrakars by commissioning the pictorial masterpiece 'Sritattvanidhi'. This guide features detailed depictions of gods, goddesses, and mythological scenes. It acted as an artistic manual ensuring the survival and refinement of the Mysore style.

Beyond mythological stories, Mysore art features impressive portraits of rulers, their families, and notable historical figures. These paintings adorned palace walls and temples, reflecting Mysore’s grandeur and rich history. The artworks offer a vivid glimpse into the region's cultural past.
Materials and techniques were meticulously prepared. Artists hand-ground natural pigments and mixed them with glue derived from Arabic gum crystals. Brushes made from squirrel hair or special grasses enabled precise, delicate strokes. This expert method contributes to the fresh appearance and longevity seen in Mysore artistry.
