What are the techniques and style of Cheriyal scroll art painting
Answers
Answer:
Cheriyal Scroll Painting is a stylized version of Nakashi art, rich in the local motifs peculiar to the Telangana. They are at present made only in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[1] The scrolls are painted in a narrative format, much like a film roll or a comic strip, depicting stories from Indian mythology,[2]
Common themes on scroll paintings tend to be landscapes (including natural features like mountains and cities), people, and birds in floral settings. Here's a handscroll painted by Ma Yüan titled The Four Sages of Shangshan, done between 1220 and 1230. It's an example of people combined with landscape as a subject.
Explanation:
Various panels are separated by architectural bodies and their caste lineage which is a very important aspect of cheriyal painting. Cheriyals have mythical narratives. There is also a ritual that is performed if a scroll outlasts 100 years. It is immersed in the holy river.
