Event Space Wall Art

Event Space — 5 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. 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. The form traditionally carried epics and village life; contemporary Cheriyal painters have stretched the same grammar to present-day events. Mata ni Pachedi means 'the cloth of the Mother Goddess' — a ritual shrine textile of the Vaghri / Devipujak ('worshippers of the Goddess') community of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, who, barred from temples, painted the Goddess on cloth to make their own portable shrine. The tradition's processional grammar — figures moving in a band with drums and trumpets — has always carried the Goddess's palanquin through the streets. Amber and Jaipur are the refined Rajput court schools, renowned for their durbar refinement and ceremonial processions of horse, elephant and parasol. This contemporary fusion borrows that royal-procession grammar for the baraat, the groom's wedding procession that crosses every Indian town — the white mare, the band, the dancing party, the balconies of watching neighbours.
