Cheriyal Painting-flute krishna

Cheriyal paintings on wooden plates make for a great addition to your home decor. Cheriyal paintings originate in the town of Cheriyal, the southern state of Telangana. This piece of art is handpainted by an artist who comes from a long line of generational Cheriyal artists. This form of art dates back in time when village folk would sing about stories from the Ramayana or the Mahabharatha and it would be transformed into a piece of narration in art. The bright and striking colours, the distinctive way of depicting characters with large eyes are some of the special features of Cheriyal paintings.
