Cheriyal paintings, deeply rooted in the vibrant culture of Telangana, India, represent a traditional form of storytelling through art. Characterized by bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate detailing, these paintings often depict mythological narratives, folk tales, and scenes from rural life. Originating in the village of Cheriyal over 400 years ago, this art form has been passed down through generations, preserving its rich cultural heritage. Typically created on cloth or scrolls using natural pigments, Cheriyal paintings hold immense cultural significance, serving as both decorative pieces and historical records of folklore. Renowned for their distinctive style and cultural resonance, Cheriyal paintings have garnered national recognition, with artisans like Shri D. Vaikuntam receiving the prestigious National Award in 2016 for their exemplary contributions to this traditional art form. As one of the last bastions of Cheriyal artistry, Shri D. Vaikuntam, born into a family with a hereditary lineage of Nakashi art, has dedicated over three decades to preserving and advancing this ancient tradition. In the continuum of Nakashi Venkataramaiah's family, perhaps the sole remaining torchbearers of this cherished art form, lies the invaluable continuation of a cultural legacy that spans centuries.
