Abstract:The article provides the chronological succession of the Maratha rulers of Tanjavur (1675-1855), and discusses the contributions of this dynasty in the fields of architecture, painting, metalwork, and literary compositions on dance, drama, and music. The architecture is chiefly functional, such as fortifications and residential buildings. The Darbar Hall in the Tanjore Palace has mural paintings of the rulers, nobility, and deities. Besides murals, the Tanjavur rulers patronized illustrated manuscripts and paintings on ivory, glass, mica, and wood. The bronze images include icons and portrait figures of rulers, nobles, and a Maratha princess.
