Temple and palace wall painting in rich natural pigments, depicting gods, epics and temple legends.
Understand
Kerala's mural tradition survives on the walls of temples, churches and palaces across the state, and is taught today at institutions such as the mural school at Guruvayur.
Painters prepare a lime-plastered wall, sketch the figures to strict iconographic proportions, then build up colour in layers using pigments drawn from minerals and plants.
