Kerala's mural paintings have their origins in ancient temple art, tracing back to the 9th century AD. They were influenced by a blend of local traditions and religious themes, primarily rooted in Hindu mythology. The murals typically adorned the walls of temples, depicting deities, legends, and scenes from epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana. The unique style of Kerala murals is characterized by vibrant colors, intricate details, and a distinct iconographic approach. These artworks were traditionally created using natural pigments and intricate techniques, often involving the application of a lime-based surface. Over the centuries, the art form has evolved but remains deeply connected to Kerala's cultural and spiritual heritage, continuing to be an important part of its artistic expression. read less
