About Us
   

  Welcome to Lakshmi International

  Hello, my name is Mark. Since 1980 I have been traveling regularly to India.
  Everywhere I looked I was entranced by the sacred Hindu art. In the temples,
  in the bazaars and in the homes of devotees. I began to search out those
  artists and sources who could produce the fine quality that captivates the
  heart of devotees.

Over the years I have imported various forms of sacred Hindu art. At this
time I am specializing in one of my favorites, Hindu miniature paintings.
Although there is a long history of miniature paintings from India many of
the paintings you will find here are of a style developed in this century.
They have evolved as a type of calendar art. Printers would commission the
most talented artists to create the best quality paintings of popular Hindu
deities. You will find these calendars and posters everywhere, from temples
to the most humble homes.  There are also some classical examples in
the collection. Especially in the Krishna gallery.

Not satisfied with printed calendars I am working with the artists to bring
you original miniature paper and silk paintings. The medium of the World
Wide Web allows me to show you the actual paintings that are available to you at this time. Artists are busy with more
paintings. You can expect this site to be under constant change as new stock
comes in.

I encourage you to e-mail me about your opinions and interests.
