Cherial Painting Dasavatara Vertical Panel
One of the most distinctive features that makes cherial folk paintings stand apart, is the narrative format expressed through a rich scheme of colours. Themes from the epics are created using traditional techniques on a scroll of cloth that may run to many meters in length. Cherial paintings or scroll paintings are used by a community known as 'kaki padagollu' that uses this medium as a visual aid to narrate stories from ramayana and mahabaratha. Presently, the artists are painting sequences in smaller sizes not only on cloth but also on cartboard, plywood and paper.
