Hanuman's leap belongs to the Ramayana's Sundara Kanda — his bound across the ocean to Lanka — and to the later episode in which he carries an entire mountain of healing herbs when he cannot identify the Sanjivani. Cheriyal scrolls come from Cheriyal village in Telangana's Siddipet district, painted for generations by the Nakashi artist community on a signature red ground and unrolled by travelling balladeers who sang the epics to village audiences through the night.
