Kerala Mural

Kerala mural art is a traditional form of painting that originated in the southern Indian state of Kerala. Rooted in religious narratives, Kerala mural art has evolved over centuries to become a celebrated cultural heritage of India. History and Tradition The history of Kerala mural art can be traced back to the ancient temples and palaces of Kerala, where these magnificent paintings adorned the walls as expressions of devotion and artistic excellence. Dating back to as early as the 9th century CE, Kerala murals can be seen in places like Thirunadhikkara cave, Vaikom temple, Padmanabhaswamy temple etc. Themes Generally, Kerala mural paintings are inspired by Hindu mythology, depicting scenes from the epics Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas. These paintings often portray gods, goddesses, celestial beings, and mythological creatures in elaborate detail, conveying stories of love, valor, and divine intervention reflecting the rich tapestry of Indian mythology and spirituality. Techniques and Details Kerala mural art is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and beautiful compositions. At first, artists prepare the wall with layers of lime and sand mixture. Natural pigments derived from minerals, plants, and metals, are used to draw outlines and later fill the colors, using brushes made from natural fibers. Artists skillfully incorporate architectural features such as pillars, arches, and doorways into their compositions, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The paintings are often adorned with decorative motifs and geometric patterns, adding to their visual appeal. V.M. Jijulal and Adarsh are some of the notable artists practicing this ancient art. FAQs Can Kerala Mural Paintings be customized?Yes, MeMeraki offers customization based on themes or specific deities. Please contact us for more information on custom orders. How should Kerala Mural Paintings be maintained?To maintain their vibrant colors and intricate details, keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture, and clean gently with a soft cloth. Do Kerala Mural Paintings have any religious significance?Yes, Kerala Mural Paintings hold religious significance, as they were traditionally commissioned for temples and depict sacred stories and deities revered in Hinduism. How can I authenticate the Kerala Mural Paintings on MeMeraki?All our paintings are sourced directly from skilled artists who practice traditional techniques, ensuring authenticity and quality.
