Cheriyal Scroll Painting: Telangana’s Timeless Storytelling Art | Cultural Canvas

Описание: Ever seen a painting that unfolds like a movie?
Cheriyal Scroll Painting from Telangana is one of India’s most captivating storytelling art forms — vibrant, dramatic, and rooted in centuries of tradition.

In this episode of Cultural Canvas, we explore how Cheriyal artists transform myths, folklore, and village life into long narrative scrolls that look like ancient comic strips.

From the rich red backdrop to beautifully illustrated panels, these scrolls were once carried across villages by the Kaki Pulu storytellers, bringing tales of the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Telangana’s cultural icons to life.

Recognized with GI Tag status in 2017, this art form continues to preserve the storytelling legacy of Telangana.

Key Highlights:
• Origin of Cheriyal Scroll Painting
• Evolution from Nakashi art
• Role of Kaki Pulu storyteller community
• Distinct style, colors & narrative format
• Cultural and historical significance

Dive into this vibrant world of Indian folk traditions!
