Cheriyal is a traditional 400-year-old art form which is the pride of Telangana State in India. In the olden days, the rural people entertained themselves with several activities like puppetry and storytelling. In this storytelling, Cherial scroll paintings played a vital role. The storytellers used to carry scroll paintings from one village to another to narrate stories. It is an interesting tradition of combining a singing rendition of stories with beautifully illustrated pictures.

You will be learning Cheriyal painting from our award-winning artist Dhanaloka Saikiran Varma, who belongs to one of the only few remaining families that are carrying forward the heritage of this painting style.
