Long narrative scroll paintings used by storytellers, from Cheriyal.
Understand
Cheriyal scrolls are made by painter families in Cheriyal and were traditionally used by travelling bards to narrate stories; they carry a geographical-indication tag.
Painters prepare cloth with rice starch, tamarind-seed paste and white clay, then paint bold figures in natural colours on a red background, panel by panel.
