Folk Warm Wall Art

Folk Warm — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Cheriyal scrolls come from Cheriyal village in Telangana's Siddipet district, painted for generations by the Nakashi artist community as long narrative cloths unrolled by travelling balladeers. This print applies that grammar to the Medaram Jatara — the biennial Sammakka-Saralamma pilgrimage held at Medaram in Mulugu district, a Koya tribal festival now drawing crowds in the crores, often called the largest tribal gathering in Asia. Pithora is the ritual wall-painting tradition of the Rathwa, Bhil and Bhilala Adivasi communities of Chhota Udepur in eastern Gujarat and the adjoining belt of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The painting is vowed to Babo Pithoro and executed on the inner wall of the home as thanksgiving or to fulfil a wish; only the Lakhara — the priest-painter, also called the Gor — may carry out the sacred wall, working to the chants of the badva diviner.
