Heroic Wall Art

Heroic — 4 museum-grade prints that set the mood. 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. Cheriyal scrolls come from Cheriyal village in Telangana's Siddipet district, painted for generations by the Nakashi artist community for travelling balladeers who sang the Ramayana episode by episode. The yuddha — Rama's final chariot duel with the ten-headed Ravana, king of Lanka, with Hanuman and the vanara army at his side — is the epic's great battle climax, traditionally one of the most dramatic panels a scroll could carry. Pattachitra is the cloth-scroll painting tradition of Odisha, tied to the Jagannath temple at Puri and the chitrakar families of Raghurajpur, worked in five mineral colours on patta — cotton stiffened with tamarind-seed paste and chalk: conch-white (sankha), lamp-black (kalia), haritala yellow, hingula red and geru brick-orange. The episode comes from the Ramayana war: when Lakshmana falls, Hanuman flies to the Himalaya for the Sanjivani herb and, unable to identify it, lifts the entire mountain — one of the most beloved scenes of Hanuman's devotion and strength.
