The Rich History of Kalamkari Painting
Each Kalamkari piece has complex tales from history or myth translated into visuals that are easier to remember. There are many motifs of nature in which more elaborate tales have been depicted, each catering to different levels of knowledge. These pieces have since taken over as artworks, but they’re also a link between present-day societies and their past.
The two main types of Kalamkari painting are Srikalahasti and Machilipatnam Kalamkari.
