Boutique Wall Art

Boutique — 5 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. Cheriyal scrolls come from Cheriyal village in Telangana's Siddipet district, painted for generations by the Nakashi artist community for travelling balladeers who sang epics and caste-origin legends — and the Padmasali weaving community was one of the castes whose genealogies and patron deities those scrolls carried. The Padmasali are a Telugu handloom-weaving community spread across Telangana and Andhra; their pit looms produced the cotton cloth and saree traditions the region is known for. Kasavu — the cream handloom cloth with its signature gold-thread border — is Kerala's most recognised textile, worn for Onam, weddings and temple visits and woven at handloom centres such as Balaramapuram and Chendamangalam. This print sets a weaver at the loom inside bhitti chitra, Kerala's temple-mural tradition that flourished roughly from the 16th to 19th century and is still painted today: flat panchavarna pigments (red, yellow, green, black, white over an ochre ground), a bold lamp-black outline and the school's elongated lotus-shaped eyes. Kathakali is Kerala's classical dance-drama, famous for its elaborate green Pacha makeup, towering crowns and the white chutti frame built up around the face, with hours of preparation before a night-long performance. This print sets that backstage moment inside bhitti chitra, Kerala's temple-mural tradition that flourished roughly from the 16th to 19th century and is still painted today: flat panchavarna pigments (red, yellow, green, black, white over an ochre ground), a bold lamp-black outline and the school's elongated lotus-shaped eyes.
