About Us
Meru, born from a deep passion, embodies dedication and devotion. In an era dominated by mass production, it strives to honor individuality. Amidst a landscape of compromised standards, it aims to present timeless creations that endure for generations.
I, Mrs. Thirumala Srikanth, have acquired certification as an artist from the prestigious ‘Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath’. My artistic journey began under the guidance of renowned artist and my mentor, Sri Dunda Raja, who taught me the fundamentals of this art form. I further honed my skills in Advanced art through lessons with esteemed artist and my guru, Smt. Neela Panch.
Being their devoted student has been a true blessing as I wholeheartedly carry forward the tradition of Mysore Traditional Painting. It is my ardent desire to pass on this beautiful art to future generations and nurture budding artists embarking on their own artistic journeys.
