The Madurai Wedding - Kalamkari Style

The exquisite wedding of Sri Meenakshi Sundareshwar is portrayed in the traditional Kalamkari art style, which is thought to have been developed in Andhra Pradesh. The delicate details and grace of the Kalamkari art style are well known.

The term "kalamkari" refers to the historic method of hand painting with a tamarind pen and organic colours. Ancient Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain literature all makes mention of cloth paintings and fabric scrolls. The terms "kalam," which in Telugu means "pen," and "kari," which signifies craftsmanship, were combined to form the phrase "kalamkari." The Golconda sultanate promoted this art, which then gained popularity. Flowers, peacocks, paisleys, and deities from the Ramayana and Mahabharata are just a few of the motifs used in this ancient Kalamkari art form. Vegetable dyes make up the majority of the colours used in kalamkari. The popularity of this magnificent style of painting has helped Andhra Pradesh gain recognition on a global scale.
