Touted as the world’s finest frescos, the Kerala murals found on the walls and ceilings of ancient palaces and places of worship are notable for their distinctive beauty, clarity, and symmetry. The traditional folk art that dates back to seventh and eighth century AD is characterized by vivacious imagery, bold strokes, and vivid colours. The murals with deep spiritual roots depict themes of Hindu mythology, epics, the classic frolics of Krishna as well as the mystic forms of Siva and Shakti. They also recount some legendary heroes of the bygone era. The expressions and illustrations on these large-scale wall paintings are portrayed with artistic brilliance and technical excellence.
