Golden Elephant - Mysore Painting (22KT Gold Leaf)

Provenance

This design honours the regal presence of the elephant, rendered in the luminous elegance of the Mysore painting tradition. Ornate detailing, flowing contours, and delicate floral embellishments frame the majestic form, while accents of gold leaf catch the light with quiet brilliance. The composition carries both strength and grace, transforming walls into ceremonial panels that echo the grandeur of royal courts and temple halls.

Rooted in the ateliers of Mysore, where court painters perfected the art of layering natural pigments with hand-applied 22-karat gold, this style flourished under the patronage of the Wodeyar kings. In Indian culture, the elephant symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, and divine power, closely associated with royalty and with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. By translating this sacred and royal motif into wallpaper, the design preserves a rare lineage of South Indian craftsmanship, allowing interiors to glow with mythology, symbolism, and the enduring radiance of India’s painted heritage.
