In ancient India, troupes of nomadic artists and storytellers roamed around from village to village telling stories of battles lost and won, demons slain and Gods appeased. They created art on the spot to illustrate their stories and this became, what we know today as, Kalamkari Art.

Kalam (pen) Kari (craftsmanship) literally refers to the artistry of the pen. Using your quill to create exquisite art that dates back thousands of years and is embedded with stories and history is what this heritage art is all about.
