Handpainted Barahmasa Miniature Painting on Paper

Barahmasa combines “barah” (twelve) and “masa” (month), referring to traditions that depict the twelve months of the year.
In Indian art, Barahmasa paintings translate poetry into imagery, using seasonal change to express emotion, devotion, and continuity.

Best placed above a console, sideboard, or in a living area where its narrative richness can be admired fully. The detailed brushwork and vibrant colours complement neutral walls, adding depth and cultural gravitas. Earthy backdrops or muted tones enhance its storytelling quality, allowing each panel to shine individually or as part of a set. A statement artwork that embodies heritage, seasonality, and timeless Indian artistry.

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush to remove particles without disturbing the paint. Keep the painting away from direct sunlight, humidity, and harsh lighting to preserve the vibrancy of the pigments. Avoid touching the paper directly, as oils from hands can damage its delicate surface. For long-term care, frame the painting behind UV-protective glass and ensure it is displayed in a stable, cool environment.
