Lamp Lit Wall Art

Lamp Lit — 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 in flat colour on a red ground. This print applies that grammar to the Ramappa temple (Rudreshwara) at Palampet in Mulugu district — a 13th-century Kakatiya-era Shiva temple famed for its sandstone carving and floating-brick vimana, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021. Janmashtami marks the midnight birth of Krishna; in the Pushtimarg (Vallabh) tradition centred on Shrinathji, the child-Krishna of the Nathdwara haveli-temple in Rajasthan, the infant deity is placed in a decorated swing-cradle (jhula) and a jhanki — a framed tableau — is set up for darshan. A pichhwai (literally 'that which hangs at the back') is the painted cloth hung behind the deity to set such scenes.
